Looks good. I would do as someone else suggested and raise the rear half an inch. I'm a fan of a slight rake.

Exactly. That's the problem with lowering cars. The gap on top is much smaller than the gap on the sides. I've always thought that looked horrible. On the other hand, I wouldn't hesitate to lower a car that had a bigger gap on top than on the sides. Lots of Mustangs come like that and it looks really bad.

Having no gap on the top of the tire and having a 1" gap and the front and rear of the tire just looks wrong.

I agree with you, but apparently we're in the minority. The lack of gap on top and gaps on the sides gives it an uneven, unfinished look, IMO.
