4 coats of clear?? did you do two, scuff it then two more??

I would wait about a month before cutting and polishing, thats how long it takes to properly harden.

Well done on the no runs though, must of been a hot day!

unfortunately it doesn't look like you will be able to lower it too much :( based on the standard wheels doesn't look like you will have a lot of guard clearance
but it would look good with the 17's and dumped on the ground
