looking very sharp! suddenly looking at the stock ride height one in the last picture shows what a big difference it makes.
 
Very nice looking Leaf. I usually do not like aftermarket wheels, but those are very fitting, particularly with the new springs.
 
So here is an update regarding my TEIN coil overs:

It turns out that when I had them adjusted to the lowest point, I was bottoming out on the bump stops. This happened when there were 3 people in the car, or we were moving at higher speed. I recently adjusted the front and back TEIN suspension to a higher setting, which prevents the jarring <bang> of bottoming out. We are enjoying the LEAF more than ever.

Nice mods...love the rims... first thing I'm swapping is the sound system...stock is barforific
 
Any pictures of it after you raised the suspension? I had the Megan Coilovers on my 2013 and am debating on which set to go with on my 2016..
 
I don't know the details of Megan coilovers, but I understand that there are LEAF coilover brands available with adjustable ride comfort. These other brands can be lowered, and also adjusted for a softer ride, as I understand. The TEIN coilovers were the only ones available in 2012, and they are not as adjustable as other offerings. The suspension provided by the TEINs is a bit stiff.
 
Nice car. I have a Silver 13 SL and would like to set it up like yours. Can you give more info on the antenna? A link to the one you have.
 
I have the Sharkfin Antenna from Visual Garage. It works great and is easy to install. You can buy it here.
