Clean. I'm not going to be doing many body mods to the car. Maybe a lip, but I've had active aero plans since day one. All I'm doing cosmetically is a repaint in stock color, GTO rear garnish, active aero (hopefully), window tint, OEM-style CF hood...
Do they make a CF AA rear wing?

For clean and stock then, I likey.  Plan on some type of lowering solution as well, trust me, you're gonna hate your wheel gap once you've got rims.

Ooooh yes, full suspension will be going on the car. I keep hearing good things about Intrax. Want to have a really well handling car, before I even consider building power. TT brakes, sway bars (does Cusco make anything for our cars? Their JGTC Impreza was fast as hell), suspension, everything. I've always valued a car that handled well over a car that could go fast in a straight line.
Like my dad says:
"Straight line speed is okay until you hit a turn and fly into the trees."

If you want uber-good suspension, then go with a setup like mine...Tein Flex 16 way Adjustable Coilovers...muahahaha

INDEED FTMFW!
But uhhh....
$2400+ engine swap, $2000+ suspension/brakes, $1300+ wheels & tires...
I paid $400 for this car, and will end up spending over $6000 on it.

I want about an inch of gap at the max. I wanna have a little bit of move room.
But I'm thinking about 18s, nice Nitto NT555s, about 8.5 up front and 9.5 rear

Kinda, yeah. But they look different on a car. I dunno how to explain it, but they just look...
Kinda like this set of really deep-dish rims APR makes, but nowhere near as deep.
