Nice Job. 
Would love to see more pictures. Don't worry about the $600 dealer price for the spring labor. I paid more than that. 
I agree with letting the dealer do big jobs like that because you know that if there is a problem then they are going to make it right. There are others on this board that will swear that they can get their buddy to do it for $50 and a pack of cigarettes. 
How do you like those Kickers?

Yo BKE been out of town a lot and working like a dog bro. Back now though so all good, got a detail Fri. and started raining literally 5 min after I pulled off and hasn't stopped raining here for the most part, so still waiting to take pics and post all the before after shots. By directional mirrors are you meaning for the lighting in the trunk? Or the side mirror lights?

KayGee, can not go wrong with the set up I have with Kicker amps, subs, and Memphis compnents throughout the inside cabin. Sounds amazing. As you all know, our volume's go up to 60, highest I can take mine without feeling like I am blowing my ear drums out is 33 hehe

front is actually 30 but not that noticeable, in the pic if you look the driver door is open so it makes it look lighter but yes the fronts are lighter, FL cops are nuts about tint around here at least.....

Tein H tech Springs
The pictures of your car show Tein H springs. I can see that your vehicle is about 0.2-0.3 inches higher than a Tanabe NF 210 dropped car. This should help avoid any rubbing issues. Congrats!

I believe the drop for the GS RWD car is as follows:
1. Tanabe NF 210 1.1" F/0.8" R
2. Tein H tech 0.8" F/0.6" R
With your 20" wheel the conservative Tein Spring was a wise decision. The odds of ZERO rubbing in all situations are greatly increased with the Tein vs. the Tanabe. That said, I like the look of the Tanabe better. But, the Tein should work extremely well with the stock shocks and give you more breathing room.
