Clean. Would look good just a tad lower but the springs must ride pretty well.

That's the perfect height for a DD! What products and procedures do you use for your paint? Looks mint!

I don't know about getting a front lip, it would turn out to be a pain after a while because your car is somewhat lowered. I've seen those CA speed bumps LOL

i was thinking of just maybe putting on a type R lip and leaving it unpainted black, it might match out?

since it has black sides, black wheels and if i put a unpainted R lip and leave it black, you think it'll look ok?

If you get an oem type R lip, definitly, and i mean definitly paint match it, and I would paint my sideskirts also IMO. Unpainted lips look cheezy on red!
