Did you ever install acoustic glass in the front doors? I was wondering how easy or hard it is to do.

Yes I did. You need to remove to door panel to replace the glass.

Can you share where you got the glass and the price. I looked on Lexus online parts from a local dealer here and front door glass is not for sale. Did you have to get it from a parts yard?

I bought the glass on Bell Lexus website https://parts.belllexusnorthscottsdale.com/
Here the part numbers: 68101-30840, 68102-30840
I know a guy in Dallas has them for sale but I do not think he would be able to ship it.

Can I ask, was it very difficult to install and do you notice enough of a difference in sound to make them worth it?

Lovely car. You might want to check the direction of your rotors.

I was going to mention that as well, but I know some people don't care for direction (see what I did there). . .BUT, his rotors might be facing in the right direction. My RC-F's rotors are moving in that direction but my Brembo and StopTech rotors (cross-drilled tho) on my other cars are going in the opposite direction.
