Alignment - good or bad?
Doesn't look perfect, but it's def better than it was to start...
Something might be bent/broken/worn and that's what's causing the red. Sometimes the tech's just have to make some measurements bad to correct for bigger problems. If you want all your numbers to be green you will probably have to get some new stock parts or aftermarket parts to make everything 100% correct.

"Doesn't look perfect, but it's def better than it was to start..." how much off is it now? do you think i should fix it or leave it? thanks for your help i really appreciate it.
On the top left chart you can see that your caster was way off -4.8, and your toe is off by a little. These can cause a lot of wear on your tire.
To correct that they threw off the SAI and IA which throws off the camber by just a hair to straighten out the wheel a little bit (i think) to help with caster and toe. I don't believe will cause any problems. I'm no expert mechanic or anything though but you should be fine, it's easier to describe if you can see it better and have an understanding of caster/camber/toe.
If you look at the middle chart (FRONT)
You will see that both your caster and camber were off.
But now they are corrected, caster is still off but it's much better than it was to start.
(probably limited by OEM equipment specs, or maybe an OEM part needs to be replaced).
Your mechanic should have given you an explanation why the caster is still off and given you suggestions to get new oem part or get aftermarket. If your cars wheels and suspension are completely stock then most likely you need to replace an oem part.
