yeah they should look pretty cool on there.Do you plan on lowering the car?If not, you will once you see it with 20s on.
It tends to look kinda 4wheeldrivelike w/o lowering.Lucky for you you've come to the right place to break your bank.

Scuse my typing, I think I was blinded by the chrome. 
Day 1: "But, honey, the car looks so PLAIN in comparison... we need to lower it..."
Day 2: "Nice drop, but maybe we should get a new grille."
Day 3: "Might as well tint the sucker too..."
Day 147: "The only things stock are the floor mats."
Ahhh, the smell of a fresh, unmodded GS in the morning...

Yea those are the ones. Do you think they will look alright? Also do you think I will have to lower the car for it to look right? If so how much should it be lowered? and will that affect the warranty? and how much will it cost to have it done right? And she is already talking about a chrome grill and window tint, wood grain kit, tv in the front with head rest monitors Looks like she will have me working day and night to pay for all these mods

Chrome's really not my taste, but I like the wheel design- I'm sure they'll look nice. I'll leave the lowering questions to the others, since they know more than I do... You're already out of warranty, so it shouldn't make a difference, unless you get an aftermarket one, in which case it should just affect suspension components. But you'd be happier with stiffer springs, the handling on the stock really isn't that great.
Btw, I think I like your wife already. My husband will be hoping we never meet - I don't need any more expensive ideas.

Congrats on your new baby!
Looks like you picked the best color too! (Having Cinnabar has well, enjoy the uniqueness).
I have done lots of tweeks here and there and can offer some advice AND pictures of what looks good and doesn't on this color car.
I'll attach a few pictures below...maybe give you some ideas of what you want or dont want to do.
Enjoy.

A few engine options....
I think the painted covers really stand out on this car...and of course..you can tell i'm a big fan of chrome.
Shown is the SRT intake fully chromed with its heat shield, and a TRD bar chromed as well. (These pieces were chromed after marked..they are not supplied like this).

Those are some really nice pictures I think i will hide them from my wife though because I will surley go broke try to do all that!!! Where did you get your front grill? Funny thing I took my car for a smog yesterday and the car kept sliding sideways? He told me he might not be able to smog it. He kept saying the car would not go
I told him to turn the tracion control off he was like what is that I pushed the VSC button and everything was ok
The look on his face
(pricless)
