You need to lower it because it's way too much wheel gap, and it doesn't handle very well with it's soft factory setup. You also need an exhaust system to make it louder. The stock exhaust sounds very uninspired. You should also debadge. Also remember that getting wider tires than what the suspension was setup for is also a great idea. i think 255 is about right. Lowering it will also result in less scrapes and less hassle on everyday roads/parking lots/driveways. Oh ya and all mods are very inexpensive!!
Remember, the stock r3 is one the best handling, most impressive feeling sportscar you can get, so the first thing you should do of course is to change the suspension setup!!

Your dealer should take care of it under warranty.

Yes, I'm actually probably older than most of you guys. Mods aren't something I look for all that much these days. This is my comfortable daily driver and I've got a1990 MX-5 that is already lowered and harsh. I don't need two cars like that.
Nothing wrong with keeping it simple the car still looks great.
Congrats and happy motoring
