Looks good, I like the black billet grille 10x better than the polished.

Do you pop the license plate up when you meet a cop or what?

Looks good. How does it ride with just lowering springs? Better? Worse?

Actually I drove around yesterday with the plate down and met two cops head-on and didn't get stopped, so now I'm thinking I might push my luck and see how long I can go without gettin pulled over haha. If I do, I'll just have to give in a start flippin it up :-(

I was really pleased with the springs, it definitely handles better and there is no noticeable difference in ride quality from stock after a good alignment.

You do have to drill 3 holes underneath the bumper to mount the plate holder. If you buy it I would recommend using some hollow wall anchors instead of the rubber expanding nuts that come with it - I pushed all 3 of mine through the holes and they're rolling around inside my bumper now haha. Here's the link:
