Evo X widebody build thread thing

Hey guys, I don't feel like typing much, so I'm going to keep it short and simple. Had my car since 2011, it's a 2011 GSR, time to make it look good because I'm tired of the stock look

I've got pretty much every bolt on possible and I'm happy where it's at power wise, I don't drive it hard or very often for that matter anyway so I decided to get a wide body.

Here is what I'm going with, I wanted to get your thoughts on all of this, how you think it'll all look together, if you think the wheels will look good with everything else, and overall just opinions. Thanks.

Varis Runduce Front bumper with CF Canards and Lip Guard
Varis Rear Half Carbon Diffuser
Chargespeed Front Fenders
Chargespeed Rear Fenders
Varis Euro GT Carbon Wing
Work Meister S1R 18x10.5 +0 and 5mm spacers all around.

(I don't know what tires to get or what would look best, so that would greatly be appreciated, also what do you think of the sizing on the wheels? Thanks)

I'm honestly probably missing some stuff but, for the most part, that's it. All of it finally came in the other day after a long 7 month wait. Trying to get into the body shop next week and on October 12th is goes to Boostin for a new clutch (Already had a new Comp Clutch put in it and the pressure plate was faulty so they are replacing it again) and while they have the trans pulled I decided to just dish the extra 1,000 or whatever bucks it was to rebuild the trans to eliminate the notchyness, I've put up with it long enough and had enough.

Here are some teaser pics and what the car looks like now, thanks!
I look forward to any input.

Here's how it sits now. Yeah Rotas, I know, had them for quite some time now, never had an issue, but I know the whole thing about how it's not cool to have them I guess I used to be one of those legit parts freaks when I had a subaru, and then I got older and just stopped giving a damn, get what makes you happy right!@?













When the parts came in, delivery guy hated me.



And taking some of the stuff out of the boxes and messing about with it, because the bigger stuff was too much of a pain in the *** to unwrap

















Thanks bros, I appreciate whoever took the time to look over this and add any input.
