Default New to me GS3 SD

Just picked up an '02 GS3 Sport Design in Millenium silver over black leather. My first Lexus, gonna be used as a DD. Previous owner installed new KYB's with Tanabe DF210 springs. Needs a few things; another key, new sub, maybe new mufflers, but new wheels and tires of course!
Gained some great ideas looking on this site. I have some questions, but gonna search first. Any suggestions for basic mods for newbies are welcome.

Thanks all!

Thanks! The ride is a hell of a lot better than my lifted Jeep! A little bumpy, but that is to expected with a lowered car. Not bad.

Thanks! I assume that the chrome trim around the headlights is "double sided taped" on? Should only need to heat and remove?
