the car looks nice and clean even the way it is.

you do the mtech kit, and that will give your car a more sportier look.
lowering the car is not worth it in my opinion. you'll have less ground clearance and suspension travel. plus it looks fine the way it is.

I would add M-tech kit or rep M5 kit - hit up Nerweezy or Trinityautosport, they are local to us (Irvine)
