Front would look better slightly lower, maybe 10mm.

Did you corner balance the car? Kind of a waste of adjustable coil-overs if you didn't....

If it's properly corner balanced, you can't really just lower the front.... You could possibly rebalance all four corners at a slightly lower ride height, but that means also checking/adjusting the alignment.

The black intakes vents- was that a factory option? Or aftermarket? Is it for aesthetics or is there a performance reason for doing this? I saw these on a couple when I was in the market.

They were not listed as a specific option in the Order Guide.
