The road noise can be a little bothersome, but nothing that cant be fixed. The thing I hate is the wheelwells have some sort of plastic lining, so when little rocks or pebbles get picked up from the tires, you can really hear it.
The best solution is to treat the inside of the wheelwells. This will help with that and the tire/road noise. I plan on doing this soon, I'll post up more later.

Anyone hear a hi-pitched sound coming from inside the cabin? This sounds like an electrical noise, not mechanical. It is constant, similar to the ringing in your ears after a rock concert. It might be coming from the HID lights, but then, I think I've still noticed it during the day.

Yes, I isolated it to be coming from under the engine cover. When you are inside the car you hear it through the firewall, sounds like it is coming from the dash..... but it is occuring from under the engine cover....... now what it is I don't know.

I like this idea, thanks for the link! I was going to suggest spray on bed liner in the wheel well area, like the Line-X stuff. Not sure how well these options would hold up to the elements or constant attack by road particles though.
