Default Improving the performance and look

I've been driving a 2010 GS350 for a long time and I want to do some improvement on performance and the look. I only have a F Sport Sway Bar installed. I had to get rid of the F Sport suspension and spring since I damaged both of my foglight due to parking curbs and some potholes.

I want to increase the performance in it, looking for body kit if possible, and new rims. I can't find a trustful website or a good quality parts. Do you know any website that provide all these parts especially for my Lexus GS350? Thanks!

Tire Rack is a quality company for an OE style wheel (and tires).

Sewell is a good place for actual OE wheels.

If you are hitting that many potholes and curbs, an OE strength wheel (likely 18 inch) will be your best bet.

Can't help with body kit. Dunno if you would want a body kit if you can't lower the car... putting a body kit on will "lower" the bodywork putting it closer to the ground. So you should likely NOT get any body kits if you are just going to crash them into stuff.

Good luck man!

Simms is right, any lip kit, aero kit, kit in general will make the car have a lowered look. Any wheels larger than your OEM diameter will make the car sit taller by HALF of x-amount of inches added to wheel diameter (correct me if I'm wrong here guys).

Nigel JDM parts has quality aftermarket support for our cars too I believe.

Just remember, you gotta pay 2 play with these cars (body-kit wise anyways).
