Default Youtube video of VIP Auto Salon LS460?

Okay, these are probably stupid questions, but I saw a very short video on youtube that says it s of a VIP Auto Salon LS460 (the link is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGDlsNO0F9Q ). That car looks amazing to me. My questions:

1) What are the exterior mods? The only thing I can see are custom rims and window tinting. Is that all that was done to look so hot?

2) When the car drops at the end, that's not the adjustable air suspension, is it? That's got to be hydraulics?

I found a press release that mentioned mods done, but it didn't look to me like there is an aero kit present in this video (or maybe i'm just not looking in the shadows hard enough?). And I didn't see those vents behind the wheel well, so I'm thinking the car was in a different state in this video than the mods listed in the press release.

This was their first one. They just completed a 2nd one recently. I think all their info is on their site.

the wald kit is not cheap, nor are any of the other mods on that car. a set of used wald portofino wheels (with curb damage and chunks missing) was going for like $6.5k on up garage last time i checked haha.
