This is the best side shot I have:
Thanks for all The feedback guys, I have to say that right now the goal for the car is just to enjoy it. The parts goals are Lofty for sure, but its all subject to change, and there is no set timetable. The goal for the car isn't for it to be a race car or a pure show car, I really just want to have the car I've always wanted. I want to build a car that I can take to the track occasionally and enjoy, but next weekend shine it up and cruise to the beach, the following weekend get my stuff together and drive half way across the country to the dragon. in short, I just want to have fun and do all the stuff I can ! One day I would like for it to be in a magazine, but I'm pretty happy with the occasional "hey dude nice car".
I'm not opposed to a different roll-bar; I like the look of the Mugen half cage, it doesn't have to get me qualified for NASA but a local track day legal bar is nice, It was my understanding that the Cusco would pass some of the less stringent requirements.
As far as the wheels go, I really don't think these Works will fit the Varis fenders and ASM flares properly, additionally I fell in love with the Super Laps, Maybe I am mistaken and you're correct about the works filling the arches well, if that's the case, I wouldn't mind hanging on to them for a while, as I really do like them.

Next Mods will either be Center caps and Tracy Sports bullet studs OR Defi Advance ZD Club Sport Kit. Any thoughts?

its not a magnet, its a sticker, made by Varis, In support of the relief effort for all the disasters that Japan has been suffering lately. But your point is well taken, it does look a bit tacky, but I like the cause so I'm okay with that. I'm not sure what you mean about the diffuser, I happen to really really like it, to each their own. thanks for popping in and giving feedback.

Awesome dude. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend having your fenders rolled, a lot. You will also NEED to trim the bumper and fender where they are screwed together, and relocate the screws that fix the bumper to the rear fender toward the rear of the car a couple inches. Enjoy and please do post pics when its all done.
