your car looks really nice! I think the front should be raised just a tad bit.

Looks good.

I don't like cars that are stupidly low, I've seen a few 'belly draggers' here that are!

Nope, yours looks right on the money.

I've seen some other cars on this site and out on the road that are just so low it looks silly.

Looks rea nice! However, we have some speed bumps here that would certainly present a challenge for your front spoiler.
