Good choice man!! Love the look of the AU's, I would lower it 2 & 1/2inc at the rear and 2inc at the front. Check my old one out, you will find a picture in the members gallery under AKA302. I lowered it 3 & 1/2inc at the back and 3inc in the front, had to roll front guards but i had 20inc rims. I am sure with 19inc rims you would be fine. Nice work man looks sweeeet!!!

Because the tail lights look a bit dull from the night shades? maybe a wet rub and buff to bring up the shine.

What to you mean by 'only Maxxis', I reckon Maxxis are pretty good, particularly the MA-Z1's, which it looks like you've got in the photos...

Wheels look good though. Very chromey.

You could get them painted or just give them a wet rub with 2000 or 1500 and a quick buff with some fine grade compound, Or just a hand polish with some cut and like a wax for shine.
Depends if you have access to a buff and are comfortable with it, Be careful with the plastic.
