GS is one of those cars that can take so many directions.... you could tune it sporty or even VIP. it's up to you. make sure you know where you want to go though.

It would help if you tell us how much of a budget you got to work with... Cause I can tell you to get a set of rims that will run you 5k+...

lower it for sure, maybe tint, spacers in the rear wheels, that's a basic start.

not to be a douche but i would say do your own research and find what you want to do instead of following what others tell you to do.

but besides that, great lookin stock GS.

lower, tint, wheels and tires, a detail or a repaint, it seem like the driver door is different color than others...

i'd buy all the Tom's/TRD suspension/braces, some lightweight 19, Supra calipers, and some nicer audio.

i'd start with a tint, wheels, and drop. Basic mods, but makes your car look a whole lot better
