Default hmmm...

well, i guess let me be the first to welcome you to this CL!!!... but BEWARE... there will be a major HOLE in your pocket once you start (but can never seem to "finish") modding your car... anyway, there are TONS of posts here on cl regarding body kits (as everyone will soon tell you, the GREAT search function is your tool)... anyway, i think that you will find the majority of people her on cl w/a GS have the following "body-kit" (i use the "" b/c its not an official body kit, but most people like this set up)... w/the front, most people go w/the tte lip spoiler (its an add-on to the stock bumper). its very subtle, but very nice. and you can get that from "the man" steve at carson toyota. his sn here is supratrd and you can pm him for all your inquires. the tte lip goes for $299 SHIPPED from him. then for the side skirts, most/many have the l-tuned sides skirts. the thing w/these is that they are discontinued and pretty hard to get... if you check the cl classifieds you MIGHT get lucky and find someone selling them, but its tough. and as for the rear bumper, i see most like the l-sport rear. you can also get this from steve, just pm him bout that (but i think these are on back order)... i myself am in the process of putting all this together, but it costs a pretty penny. well, i hope this helps a little, but try the search, its wonderful

Do a search. Also pick up the Hyper-Rev magazines.

L Sportline, RMM, Explosion, Auto Couture, TTE/Ltuned/Lsport, Veilside K1 and Executive are just some of the kits that people have on here

Enter any of those names followed by kit or bodykit and see what comes up. Also cruise the gallery for more examples, good luck and welcome

Congrats on a great choice of cars....

I'm with Varcity on his choices.....that combination makes for a pretty neat looking GS.

My grill is part of the Ltuned package that varcity referenced, I got it from Carson Toyota, you can just call them and ask for Gordon, he is the one that always takes care of me.

its not too bad considering what comes with the kit

Front Bumper
Side skirts
rear bumper
door caps - 4
rear 3pc spoiler

usually most kits just come with front, sides, and rear. The JP kit adds the door caps and rear spoiler.

there are like 1000 kits out there, i guess the best bet is to get a hyper rev magazine and read it through. you can always ask manaray for a copy.
