She's lookin nice and clean, similar to mine actually. Love the taillights.. JDM, junction prod? Im planning on those next myself. Love the wheels (even though I only go OEM) and actually you can probably get away without a drop, I couldn't. Your exhaust matched up with the rear bumper undercover is a great fit, nice look on that.
Do yourself a favor though, find a paint professional to spray the back bumper cover to match up the quarter panels. I had the SAME problem after I was hit a while back. I had a "Lexus bodyshop" do the work and after 3 tries they still couldn't match up the color right, not to my standard at least. Mill. silver metallic is a b!#%* to match, especially when blending metal panels with plastic bumper on an aged vehicle! You almost always have to blend into the adjacent panels. It took me some time and patience but I found a paint guru in my town that did amazing work. Do some research and ask around, very few shops can do it perfectly.
Thanks for sharing tho!

The back bumper's never been painted??? Did you buy the car new or used? It looks exactly like mine did after the first attempt at spraying it. The upper corner section in your first photo where the fender section splits clearly shows a difference in color from the quarter panel. It's much more *silver* than the rest.
Who knows, it might just be the light aperture or photo angle but in the photo it looks off.

nice car. MRR wheels look cool.
A drop would look better...
For a 10 year old car... a nice sprint/shock.. or a coilover system should be a nice change for the good ride\handling
