Looks great!
Very nice job on a custom look.
You'll have to be careful with the bodywork if you lower the suspension - I say this as there is a speed bump in my parking lot at work that I have to crawl over carefully with a stock suspension. A couple of weeks ago I had a friend in the car and it lightly bottomed out with the extra couple of hundred pounds in the passenger seat.
I need to get that speed bump cut down or find lighter friends....

Very nice job. The MS side skirt does go with the regular appearance package! Only comment is some pics are blurry ... maybe cuz you were shaking with excitment 
What's next? Calipers perhaps?

My next moves are as follows: 1) Ings kit (in month two of my wait) 2) exhaust 3) calipers, rotors 4) f/i (no time soon)

Nice job, Naomi sure is looking good. I think I need to put some work into my girl since I've been neglecting her because I've been working on her older red headed sister.

seen the car in real life, the rims does not look any smaller than the orignal. Personally i wouldn't prefer going over the stock size rim more rotational weight and in most cases more unsprung weight, to me its impractical completely for looks. Looks real clean in person man, the pics looks good but doesn't do it any justice. Now let's see the other side mike :p

I know the pics are a little blurry, but the sun was about to go down, and my camera doesn't take good pics in those conditions. Car is also dirty, and I literally just finished installing before I started snapping pics.

Thanks everyone. Just to answer a few questions, I'm thinking about getting th Mint Blue spoiler. I think it looks better than the INGS, but I might just keep it the way it is. The fitment was ok, but I will probably make some modifications this weekend to make it a little more snug, and secure the bottom part of the bumper. I also have to trim the inner part of the bumper, because I had to take that white piece off the bumper, and as far as I know its illegal and dangerous. The kit isn't any lower that my former set up, but it does stick out further, so we'll see how it goes as far as scraping.
And as far as moaning, she gets loud after 7k :D
