The ride is nice and firm. Not harsh in my opinion. I drive with sport mode on all the time anyways.
Can't wait to see the Carson Body Kit.

I think that would've been too big (significantly larger rolling diameter versus stock). Did you want to run that profile of tire to fill the gaps with the NF springs? Instead of doing that it was more cost effective for you to go with the DF's and lower profile tires.
I thought the NF210 would lower it enough but they didn't. Instead of paying for new tires it was easier to go with the DF210's. The next set of tires I will buy will be the SO3's. I like the taller sidewall profile then the Dunlops. I wanted some coilovers but it handles fine - some sways and some braces when they come out will neutralize the car a little more.
In regards to the tint question. They are like 40% ceramic tint - not really dark but it does a great job of keeping heat out.

Car looks fantastic.. The wheels and drop look fine... Now you need some nice exhaust for the rear bumper.. 
Keep us posted on your mods to come.. The impact of the 3 rd GEn is going to be amazing with all the new mods coming out and so forth... Nice job..
