I'd have to guess that exhaust is the most popular mod, then probably suspension changes. These are two things that GS owners that are concerned about their factory warranty can do without much issue....

Borla exhaust - $300 or so (not sure).

Suspension changes - cheapest way to go for a big upgrade is L-Tuned springs/shocks for $500 from Steve Ganz plus about $500 for install.

I got this guy over here at Lexus of Greenwich that hooks me up, because my brother owns a cell phone store and he hooks everyone up... So this guy does anything I want for free....

a1exus, Cross state lines and I'm sure this guy will hook you up with a great price for installs....
