Top job EK Jay!
The paint work has come up awesome, and the white roof and trim are the icing on the cake.
Again top job!

4 coats of clear?? did you do two, scuff it then two more??
I would wait about a month before cutting and polishing, thats how long it takes to properly harden.
Well done on the no runs though, must of been a hot day!

unfortunately it doesn't look like you will be able to lower it too much

based on the standard wheels doesn't look like you will have a lot of guard clearance
but it would look good with the 17's and dumped on the ground

Yeah only want it a inch or two all round
buy the time i get every body in its
pretty low anyway; and i have a steep
drive way entrance so it limits the ride hight
but where theres a will theres a way
