Hey thanks for your input everyone.. i lowered it with road magnet springs, but i heard about those new BC coilovers and thinkin' about getting those. Anyone have any experience with those coilovers??
As for the swirlys.. the car's being cut/buff/waxed in mid/late april. Washington weather sucks right now with weird *** snow and rain so I'm gonna wait til we get a little nicer weather =)

Thanks again for the comments!
As for the wheels, they are same size all around with 245-35-20 tires. I had 25 series tires on there but decided they are too thin and had very little protection for the wheel/lip. The drop is pretty nice, I didn't have to roll my fenders at all, just took a heat gun and pushed back some parts of the plastic liner a little bit in spots where you turn the wheel.
I haven't really been messed with on my tint even though my windows are VERY dark(10%).. I didn't mean to go 10% but long story short, I told my tint guy I wanted my windows dark enough where people wouldn't be able to see me but not too dark and here I am with 10%. I wasn't used to it at first but now that I am, I think it matches the car perfectly.
The lugnuts are actually Blox anodized lugnuts from my civic lol. They were given to me by a buddy of mine for my Bday and one day when I was polishing my wheels, saw them laying in my garage and wondered what they would look like on my crooked L. Not sure yet if i'm going to keep them on there or put them back on my civic after I'm done building it. They accent the wheels pretty nice though and had the same thread pitch...
As for the person suggesting gold emblems, I'm not really a fan of gold or even emblems. I'm trying to find a set of the L emblems in pearl black or black chrome or whatever they call it so it'll be less noticable. I like the clean look =)
