Great build!
One thing to keep in mind if you plan on running this car at high speed events and at the track: the wing you have on there has never seen a wind tunnel and its effects on the car are unknown. I wouldn't trust my life with a potentially harmful cosmetic mod.
Obviously, all of this is hypothetical and I do not possess any data to back my claim. Vorsteiner doesn't either. They can't disprove my claim.
Better be safe than sorry. Happy motoring.

Few initial impressions since I picked up the car yesterday:
-GT2 clutch slave conversion/Sachs Stg III racing clutch:
First thought: oh s&*t. I'm never going to make it out of the parking lot
It's heavy. No doubt about it. I creeped out and did a few gingerly pulls behind EVO. Engagement is much closer to the floor (which I prefer). Not sure I would say I can feel the engagement point better but slipping it as it engages is easier to modulate despite the significantly increased effort (does that make any sense?). This mod would be very annoying in stop/go traffic. Need to break in the clutch for a few hundred miles, so I haven't killed it yet, but so far, I likey
-It's a 'sleeper'
aside from the mish mash of aero I put on the car, it's a relative 'sleeper'. Nothing to distinguish it from a stock-powered turbo at first glance....oh wait....open up that center console....
Very clean install.
-Very streetable
Aside from the clutch, the street manners of the car really haven't change too much. The power comes on much faster than a stocker, but unless your foot is to the floorboard, it's very controllable.
-Getting on it
I have a few stretches of open road behind the house. Thought I would try to get a better sense of how it felt leadfooting it. Well, I can tell you...I really don't know because I couldn't go more than 3/4 throttle at any point
. Although somewhat deserted, any cars in front of me would come up VERY quickly even after giving them a pretty wide berth.
-Zero-to-Jail time in 3 seconds flat
Ok, I don't really know how long it would take to get to straight-to-jail time, but it ain't long
No clutch dumping, easy shifts, again 3/4 throttle
I think Santa may bring me a PBox this year, so I all I have for now is worthless butt-dyno data.
