Looking good, may I suggest removing the rotor and sanding and painting the center part. Just take some blue painters tape and tape off the surface where the break pad touches the rotor and paint away. It will clean your brakes up even more, you'll be blingin then.
edit: Paint the rotors black for your car, I painted mine greyish silver to match my wheels.

Lookin good, and thought about paint, but wouldn't painting be more maintenance as opposed to a "high polish" aluminum finish? Just curious.

I like the look of a lowered car, but in New England, the roads suck & you bottom out everywhere with a lowered car. And I have a 300+ ft gravel driveway.
