Shes doing alright, hole in the front bumper and clear-coat issues aside.

I would lower it another quarter inch in the front and a half inch in the rear to level it out
I have 18" rims with 225/40zr tires, my car is lowered 1.5 inches, it still rides smoothly and only rubs every once in a while, usually when its cold and i hit a large dip, you might want to try a different suspension brand or play around with different stiffness'
And JDMFiend is right, you can Never be too low

Yeah its stock, the color is Emerald Green, it has held up really well, has a bit of fading on the roof and a few shallow nicks here and there but it still glistens like new for the most part, that shot is also way overexposed and badly lit so it might make it seem a bit "wetter", ill post some better shots of my car when i get a chance

Ahh, ok, i have a 2" wide chip out of my front bumper's paint as well from someone who backed into the previous owner at a stop light and a basketball sized dent in the driver's side rear corner panel that luckily did not damage the paint, someone backed into me while i was backing out of a parking spot then gave me false insurance info and since the dent is on the angle and in the location that it is it can't be fixed by a paint less dent removal so it's going to cost me around $2800 to have done right

Wow, thats pretty bad :C I have a whole in my front defuser about half foot wide from hitting a curb (i think). My paint is mostly okay except on my hood on the passengers side because the front of my car got pwnd by a re-tread and as such my hood was pushed back a few inches. We managed to push it mostly flat but its still pretty wrecked.
