If money is no object, what combo of mods would you do to your GS? (assuming it's still street driveable..i.e. no 1000HP 2JZGTE mod..)

I.E.

Bodykit: Blitz
Wheels: Blitz Z1
Engine Mod: TOMS's Intake, etc....

So put together the ideal GS ride and input whatever you can think of....

All I want is a turbo kit for the GS400 that puts out 600HP.

I would think putting all those things LexusRules wants to put in his GS would actually make it less reliable, don't you?

That's like a couple of dozen engine parts replaced!

If I had unlimited funds to spend on my GS, then I would do:

1. 18" rims all around (I have 17" stock chromes right now and it doesn't make sense to spend $4k just for 1 more inch).

2. PS2, DVD, PC w/NAV, TV, & Rear view camera w/ lcds in headrests and visors (all of which I am planning on really doing except the PC w/NAV).

3. TRD sways, front STB and LCB. (saving up for these right now).

4. TRD LSD

5. SRT TC & HFI/ECU (im trying to convince my dad for those, he doesn't like unsafe driving...which the addition of such parts will result in...as if driving the stock GS fast is safe!)

6. Custom made carbon fiber front bumper and grill.

7. Wood steering wheel

8. Custom-made carbon fiber color-coded mud/splash
guards

9. AP Racing 6-piston brake setup (really nice and WILL make the car safer, but too expensive for me :-(

10. Custom-made illuminated door sill plates.

11. Hidden radar detector with output lcd molded onto and inside the speedometer somehow?!?!

I think that's about it....but that's if I had money to spend ONLY on my GS, if I just had money period then I would buy a 2002 MB S55 AMG and install the CL55 front end and put a lorinser body kit and some nice 18-19" wheels!

Money no object and if I could do this (Probably not realistic but who cares).. I would shoe horn a complete drive train from the Viper GTS into the GS and go hunting for Porsches.. I suppose Lexus realiability goes right out the door now.. LOL

But imagine a V10 Lexus prowling the streets.. In theory you could call this car a Lexus GS 800.. HAHA..
