Things to do first as a must usually consist of Rims, drop, JP front bumper or TTE front lip, and JP wing.

Here is a thread about the TTE lip https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...p-install.html and first mods are usually rims and drop since this car comes with some crazy wheel gap from the factory. Then most move on to intake, headers, catback etc...

Drop first, then rims.

I hate seeing cars with rims and donk ride height.

Lowered on stock wheels looks better if you have to do it in steps.

Everyone has their preference on what color looks best (even though our poll states black is best ) but its all on how you do it. I've seen plenty of beautiful silver GS's out there and yea, thats my Lex

Welcome to CL! Drop first and then find some wheels in the wheels & tires classifieds section. I can speak on behalf l-tunedparts.com and can assure you they are a great site and great group of people to deal with. Good luck
