On the subject of Garrus not caring, I wonder how much of a judge of human beauty he is anyway? He says he doesn't have a human fetish so I'm taking it that he's never really thought about it one or the other. I don't think it would really matter to Garrus but once a relationship started I can't help but think it would cross his mind (and Shep's mind) just how desirable the other is in the terms of their species. Not to change their opinion, just out of curiosity.
He probably really hasn't thought about it much. Til Shepard came along he probably never at all even considered having a relationship or even sex with a human. I don't think he'd be a particularly good judge of human beauty because as a Turian he likely didn't know or care about what humans consider beautiful. By the same token that Shepard probably doesn't know either.
Is Garrus a looker by tuian standards? (I have a feeling, yes)
If you play as Male Shepard and say that Garrus was always ugly, Garrus counters that with "At least you get a chance with women now, I get hit on all the time." (roughly). Could just be some bro dialog, but may also be true.
Do those scars dramatically impact his looks amongst his own species? (I have another feeling, yes.)
Quite possible. Scars, especially in the military society of the Turians, will show that the Turian in question likely was in a battle and survived, possibly ending up victorious. Since Turian society is all about the military and duty, something like that could be attractive to the female turian.
Will Garrus start judging other human females against the model of Shepard or will he judge Shepard against what he thinks human standards are?
I'm not sure he would really care. He might look around and find out what humans typically may find attractive, and go "huh. Shepard's attractive among humans." Like you said, he may think that as special but wouldn't really affect his opinion of her in any substantial way.
Or for that matter, are there things considered desirable in turians that translate into human females? (Think of how to us, broad shoulders, deep voices, and masculine, predatory bearings translate and become desirable even in turians.)
Likely waist and hips. It also helps that Shepard is a military woman that Garrus can kill baddies with.
