Clean as phuck !

Lower the front to equal it out .
Debadge the trunk .
Use some "back to black" restorer on the grill and mudflaps so they look nice and glossy .

Then , Enjoy that your car look brand new off the showroom floor .

oh amd personally id ditch the reflector in the headlights thats just me though .

I would like too but will it take away from ride quality anymore? When i hit big bumps the front gets pretty noisy for some reason but the back is pretty solid. I dont know how to get rid of the noise it kinda annoying buy when on a smooth road its great.

It's just parts of your suspension slamming your engine bay from the bottom, Don't worry about it .

What Tein's do you have? Do they have the stiffness adjustability?

I'm not good with names of parts , but the (control arm ? ) Whatever the part is I replaced with the Ingalls camber up front , pivots up and smashes the bottom of the engine bay on my car . No big deal , it just dents it and kinda bends that arm , creates metal shavings , etc .... People on the TL side have cut out the bay there and modded it .

^That usually only happens when you are really slammed. He doesn't look slammed so it could be end links, ball joints, etc. just check it out and see if anything is loose or appears to be hitting
