I would like the guage cluster if I could get it worked in my deal. No way would I pay 400$ for it though. That is all I would really want. But how do you sell a car like this without a factory pressure guage, What is a front corner air dam anyway

I agree with your choices. The brake cooling guides, in particular, are a nice add-on that you are not going to pick-up just anywhere. Even if you are not keeping the rotors cherry red at the track, it still makes sense to keep them cooled off to ensure longevity.

The wheel locks were listed at just $25 which is a decent deal as well. The grounding kit is also a great option, but can easily be custom built by someone who has access to high-end stereo grounding cables for a fraction of the cost of the factory kit at $200+.

The rest of the stuff is more aesthetic, and for me not necessary off the front. As you mention, plenty of aftermarket parts will make it easy to custom tailor the car to your needs.

I personally like the instrument panel surrounds... Compared to the dash on my WRX and an OZ Rally, the surrounds really light up the instruments... Those and the brake coolers are a good buy... $400 for guages?? They must be nuts.. Besides I wouldn't advise looking away from the road to see your boost pressure or EGT guage all the way near the floorboard... That's pretty stupid and distracting... Some morons drive bad enough as it is, now you want them looking away from the road?!

Well, who really cares about volts anyways.. EGT Exhaust Gas Temp guage.... That informs you of how hot the exhaust gas is which gives you an idea if your running rich or lean.... It tells you more about your engine than a volt meter... So the volt meter is pretty useless... In other words, I would change it...

definitely too much for the gauge pack...i just want the housing of the gauge pack...i can make my own faceplate...to me the volt gauge is a waste... the two meters i think is important are the Boost and EGT...that is all...

cars.ign.com just reviewed and intalled a Blitz Dual Turbo Timer which is a turbo timer and a boost pressure gauge. I figure I'll kill two birds with one stone/accessory.
