Without question lowering the car would look much better. My main concern is ride quality. DrLev has mentioned some problems he had when lowering his XI and I'm still debating whether I want to deal with the potential hassles, so I'm still on the fence with that one.

Very nice. That's the color I wanted, but didn't want to wait for.
