Default My GS (and mod ideas)

Finally had time to post pics of my '01 GS300.

I want to add an SRT intake, an exhaust system (Borla or Magnaflow), a body kit, 18" wheels, and I want to lower it. Somewhere down the line I want to retrofit LS headlights and I'll get new LED tailights too.

I am also thinking of painting it either white or gray. The current color is the Mystic Sea Opalescent What do you guys think?

Looks clean! All those list of mods sound good. However 18's do look a bit small on the GS. 19's are perfect. We have a couple threads with pics of guys rocking 18's so i'd search for that thread and see if 18's is really something you want.

Thanks guys. I am currently open for suggestions for body kits and wheels. I will check out the 19's.

What I really would like to know your opinions on is whether I should paint it in the future or not, and if so, what color?

Ive been looking around and see that the majority of you all have good taste

really depend's on what line's you want to build along...

VIP, Drift/Race, Stance, Street....
if you can decide that, then it will be easier to decide what fits.

i say leave the Colour, to many people already black and white... it get's a bit boring.

Keep the color. Why do you want to look like every other GS when you already have a unique color?

I agree with the rest. Keep the stock color. Invest in some nice wheels & a drop.
