Can you post your impression of those once you've gotten some time with them? Really interested in them and curious as to how they feel under civil use as well as when pushed hard.

Rerefinish the SP2 wheels (didn't like the first attempt ) if that doesn't work some Forge Stars
Lower it about an 1"
Work out how to get heaters in to my light weight seats
PC the front, bonnet and wing grills all black
Design and find a local supplier to do me some GT4 engine and sill plaques
Colour code the S sills in body colour and satin black wrap

I'm about to install some aftermarket seat heaters in my 4Runner, I'll let you know how it goes. Might be a viable option for you.

Problem on the AM light weights is they have supports/stiffeners sown in to the leather that get in the way of fitting one mat. I might have to buy a couple more and wire them all up together

Ah, okay. The leather on my 4Runner seats is aftermarket (looks OEM), so it's a pretty straight-forward installation. Just remove the covers, stick the heater elements in, reinstall the covers, run the wires/switches.

Adding a couple things to my winter to-do list:
Replace the spark plugs
Get fuel injectors clean and flow matched
Fix my fuel gauge problem
Flow matching fuel injectors rarely comes up on car forums, but I've had it done and the before/after is pretty impressive. Worthwhile, I think - especially on a several year old car, especially especially when the car runs as rich as ours do.

Black out the front grill, hood vents, and side vents.
Redo the front seats (currently has wear and tear).
Order new rims and color match lip of rim to color of car.
Possible front splitter and rear diffuser.

Lol, down the the damage on the box, this looks identical to the one I still have sitting in my garage. It's been there since the initial group buy over a year ago. I finally got the car in for service a few weeks ago, sent off the rotors and new porterfield pads with it and got the word back that the current rotors were fine and the pads were only 70/80% despite a few track days ... Can't believe that actually disappointed me but I couldn't bring myself to pull off and throw out good discs and pads ...

And my rotors and pads are still doing well, too. I'm keeping the OEM rotors and my current pads as spares just in case something happens.
Let me know what you think of the catch can once you've put some miles on it!

Got my clutch finished and it's amazing. Much smoother than stock. The car also feels faster and lighter.
It's now at trinity getting the kW v3s installed. I'm pretty excited because the stock dampers were to soft on the rebound and caused the car to be too bouncy with hr springs.

I've used a company called Deatschwerks in the past on the STi I built and they did a good job, just looking to see what else is out there.
