DC2AP1... Simple and clean... nice wheels, a drop, and a front lip is the formula for a clean S2K. 
Approved! 
AP_One... your drop is ridiculous!
S2Khondas.... hmm... your car is a tough one to call. I'm a sucker for sebring s2ks as I think they are very easy to pull off a clean look with that color, but I'm not too crazy about the vents on only one side of the hood, and the black tape/vinyl over the headlights is killing the flow of the front end for me. Lose the headlight film and I think it will help.
Series10... I HATE CF front lips, but on a berlina and the fact that you have such sexy 3pc mesiters I'll let it slide. I love your wheels, and the FMIC that I see hiding in your bumper. Approved! I do think that a partial paint job on the front lip would help pull off an even cleaner look though.
Tbone77... Paint the hood, add a lip, and drop that sucker and she will be clean.

Can you give me some info on your wheel specs/offsets because I think I'll be going with a spoon BBK as well once I get my next s2k build going. BTW, any rubbing issues in the front?

17x7.5 +35 has pretty good clearance. the front fenders are slightly rolled, hence the cracking top end of the fender, but I plan on pulling them or just flaring them. But with 1 finger gap, it rubs slightly going over dips. Regular driving is fine though.
btw, can't wait to see how your next s2k will turn out! should be the ultimate definition of clean

I had to roll the fronts on my last s2k so there is nothing new there. I belive I was running 18x8 +49 on the fronts so they weren't too far off from your specs (yours are about 2mm more aggressive) so that's good news to know.I'm not sure if my next project is going to really clean to be honest.
I want the car to look good driving too and from the track, but I will definitely have function taking place over form in some cases (ie. it will probably have a big J's wing and a spoon diffuser), but I'll still try to make it look clean.

Fish22... wow, I love the new look! Your car is DEFINITELY clean! The CR front lip and those concave emotions work great together on your color. Nice work. APPROVED!
Vyets... I love the wheels, love the front bumper, love the pics... I wish you had some AP2 headlights or JDM diffusers, but overall that's a beautiful looking car. APPROVED!
