Your car looks ridiculously clean. It's nice to see the Chicago skyline again. I haven't been home in 2 years since I graduated from UIUC.
The only critique I can offer at this time is that you have a very aggressive hood and wheels, but the stance of the car looks very pedestrian. Have you considered transitioning to a set of clear sidemarkers, fogs, and a Ground Control kit?
FWIW, I'm just finishing up my clear projection fogs right now, and smoked or clear sidemarkers are available on eBay for less than $40. Bought the foglamp cores off a couple of wrecked CTS on eBay for $50 apiece. Need to do a water resistance test, and I'll probably have pictures up this weekend, along with the Forgestar F14s.

Very nice! Love the background and the car does look clean. I agree with fuzzy! Some clear fogs and markers and a drop and that car would look ridiculous.

I have on the to do list the sidemarkers and fogs. As far as the suspension...you know Chicago; as far as my DD goes it isn't practical to lower it here (been that route with my WS6) I might hit you up for some lighting suggestions.

I have a Silver 06 just like this one...minus that sick effing hood! But I'm not in love with the smoked headlights on the V's. I think it makes them look dirty or old. Fuzzy, do you have access to clear headlights? And has anyone done this or an I the only person who doesn't like the smoked lenses on the headlamps? I'd love to see a pic of a clear lense on a V if anyone has one.
