IMO, there is very little you can do to make the car look better, and most cosmetic mods make it worse.

Get the OFT, a TRD (or other hi-flow) filter, flash the E85 tune and see what you think. With the OFT you get open-source tunes and freeware tuning software. It's worth every penny, and you are about a third of the way to all the gains you can make without forced induction. Seriously, it's the best 500 bucks you can spend. Their header is fantastic as well.

Best advice, though, is drive it for a while, then decide what you want to change.

I have yet to find the FR-S owner and service manuals online, somebody post a link if you have one.
