Default What are some common GS4 visual upgrades?

I recently acquired a 14 GS4. GS 350 with luxury package RWD. Cutting to the chase, I love how the car handles, and I like the exterior, but I feel it's kind of bland.

What are some common exterior/interior upgrades I can make so it looks less bland? It doesn't help that my car is standard grey.

Thanks!

Change out top and bottom grill to F Sport grills
Lower Front lip
Rear wing
Paint Calipers
Lowering the car probably makes the biggest difference but will be expensive.
Mud guards

For the F-Sport front bumper conversion it looks like I'll spend around $250-$300 used on the bumper, and then I'll need to purchase the grill etc. All in for the front bumper, is $500 a good estimate? I saw this option as well. Any suggestions? $899.99 painted and ready to roll isn't terrible.

@pschall just a warning that there were fitment issues with those eBay bumpers but...you may get lucky with your conversion who knows: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...is-bumper.html

Two other options:
1) Replace your existing grilles with the upper and lower F-Sport grilles : https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post9406756
2) Buy a used F-Sport bumper, have it painted and use your existing slat-style grilles to save a few hundred $$$: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...rill-pics.html

It's not painted and needs work to fit correctly. I don't think anyone on this forum has installed this one successfully and I know of at least one guy who tried. Seems like they are selling so someones probably gotten it all sorted out.

I have this bumper on my 13 GS. Fitment is a pain and I don't think It's not worth buying

So you think it is worth buying? Did you have any issues with parking sensors? I am fine with deleting my fog lamps.

I really like it, and I think you get a lot for the package.

You would have to drill the holes and mount the tabs on the inside of the bumper to install the parking sensors. Shouldn't make a difference were you mount it as long as it's in the general area of the original.
