What else needs to be done to her? I'm open to suggestions.

I know wheels would be the next step, but I'm not considering until I need new tires....and the stockers are pretty nice too

"A" rear lip sounds good, but I feel like the GFX adds an unnecessary line to the rear and isn't drastic enough for me....also not going to mold or hack/butcher my rear.

^^ you can always try the 3m tape method. It seems to have worked successfully for a few members.

Get some wheel spacers. It would make it look a TON better. Get 15mm for the rear and 10mm for the front. Some H&R spacers come with longer studs and it rests on your hub and the spacer has its own hub for your wheel. You will be dialed then. Once you do that you may decide not to drop $2500+ for some good wheels.

What size spacers were you running before you got your rims? 15mm F and 20mm R?
