Default 2014 GS350 F Sport

Hi guys,

I purchased a 2014 GS350 F Sport (nebula gray pearl / cabernet) in June and have enjoyed it very much in the past few months. I've been back and forth over which mods I may want to do. I've read a lot about all the different options and yet I still can't decide on a few things. Maybe you guys can help me out.

Exhaust: Looking for something semi-agressive with no drone. I live in NYC and just want a nice sound that won't make the neighbors and drivers hate me. Anyone try Borla on their GS?
RR Racing Tune: Has anyone done this for their GS? Is it easy to switch back and forth to stock for the instances I have to go to the dealership? Any risk and was it worth it?
Coils / Springs: I'd like to lower the car a little but living in NYC I don't know if it is realistic.

Any easy mods that'll make the car stand out? I think I'll wrap the chrome trim in gloss black but I'm undecided on painting/wrapping the roof.

Thanks guys.

If you go with lowering springs I strongly recommend Tanabe NF210's. Not too low, almost stock ride quality. I had the RS-R Super Downs and while it was fun to drive, I did have a very hard time on bad roads and or scrapping a lot.

Not sure of your tastes, but here are some "simple" mods:

I think lowering the car either spring or coilovers will give it a nice different look!

I've tried to find some more videos of the Borla on a GS but I haven't had any luck. It advertises no drone which is appealing.
