The only thing I would add is a pair of Black lined tail lights ... And maybe a black ///M emblem with chrome surround (from IND).
I have the same set-up in mind but can't decide between CF vs Ti akra Tips...
Seeing yours swings the pendulum back to the CF side...

I think with your set up and considering the weather characteristics of Peru you should have a FMIC, even if you are not tracking the car.

I bought my blacklines from http://www.schmiedmann.com/ They sell OEM item and shipping is quick and not too expensive. I also had to pay import taxes, fact of life!

While ago I have asked myself this CDV and clutch stop question in this Forum, that if I could use them together; on paper we can do that but it seems that majority opinion was there may be downsides of this double operation since with the installation of clutch stop you change the travel length of the clutch and you force it not to fully engage. It might give you a good sensation and a faster gear change but I also came to the conclusion that this can't be all good news for clutch life. Since the CDV mod alone satisfies me in terms of how it operates I see no need to go further with the tranny or clutch mods and play it safe. Personally I don't feel like the clutch or gear change need to be shortened. You might like to ask this to guys who tried a clutch stop for long time in their cars and better, ask it to knowledged technicians.
Thanks for the reply, I'll look into removing the rubber clutch stop, I do like the feel of the CDV mod.
I already ordered the M emblem from IND, it looks great! I'm sure it'll match perfectly with my setup, thanks for the advice!
I'll look into getting the blacklines, if I can get them shipped to the States in the next couple of weeks, I may be able to bring them myself back to Peru.
About the FMIC, I agree that no cutting/trimming is a must!!!
I'll research a bit more----> Evolve/Helix/ETS/Forge to see what I like.
Saludos!
