I upgraded all three front speakers and did 6in front side and 6x9 rear doors. Grab a set of inexpensive auto pry tools from the stereo website as well. Makes removal of the dash grillls very easy. I liked the bass and sound of the 6 inchers better vs 6x9s
Also great video on this forum and YouTube on how to remove the door panels to do the soundproofing and speaker swaps.
Thanks for all the great feedback/advice. I think that will be my first project - the speakers.

2013 ES 350 with 170,000 miles. Change oil every 5K to 6K. This morning both my Check Engine light went on ( not blinking) and my VSC Trac was off. As I pulled out of my parking spot when the transmission went into second gear I felt a knock. I drove a mile to the Pep Boys and they are changing defective Oxygen sensors right now. The Codes did not say misfiring. I am worried about the transmission. Can bad Oxygen sensor cause transmission gear issues?
Bought 2015 ES300h a couple of weeks ago after searching far and wide. Has 58k miles, red/white, navigation, advertised with wheel locks but dealer couldn't find the key (wrench). I bought it for comfort (back problems) and gas economy. Previous car was a 2015 Volvo V60 but Lexus is quieter and easier on my back. The volvo self destructed after ~230k mi; spark plug (Volvo) electrode broke off and wiped compression.
Lexus notes:
Can't figure out how to display posted speed on nav unit; can't find nav sd update on Lexus portal - my HOME address is 3 miles away from where it should be.
First tank of gas showed 43.8 mpg. Great!
EV lights up on deceleration, but battery acceleration only lasts a few seconds, just enough to get out of my driveway in the morning in complete silence;
I can finally hear radio; my wife's car is a Suby Forester.
