Update!
Alright we just got done checking into some stuff... 
We're gonna start out by making some prototypes for the front and rear strut bars... Here's what we decided...
For the front bar, we're gonna base it off the CP design, except it will require NO relocation of the fuse box, and will work with the stock fan... Pricing should be in the $75-80 range...
For the rear bar, we'll be basing it loosely off the CP design, except it will feature an x-brace instead of the supports going straight to the floor... Pricing for these should be in the neighborhood of $80 also, and will have the option of an intergrated harness bar for an extra cost...
Any thoughts?

Oh and we're gonna be able to design the intercooler piping to work with the Greddy elbow! You just provide the elbow, and the info about your setup (ie; PS, AC, stock battery location, turbo size and location, etc) and we do the rest! Worst case scenario you may need a radiator relocation bracket, which will also be a priority for us...

That CP racing bar looks a bit odd tho... With that actual bar so far out like that it looks like a lot of unnessary stress at those extra joints

That's more of a cast endeavor, but I suppose with some small diameter aluminum pipe and a flange it can be done... I'll look into it... If someone could provide me with a plastic S5 coolant neck for testing purposes, it would make things alot easier...
a nasty drift roll cage that will be very safe. im going for a big safety factoer while building my car so incase i hit something or for some reason my car flips out on a track or something i dont get hurt too bad.

a tri-angluated FRONT strut tower bar with integrated engine torque brace.....bracing for the underside of the 7......2"-3"CAI/TID
As far as the altezzas......well.........i don't think ANY car NEEDS those lights....go buy a honda.....there are plenty of altezza's for hondas. By far the WORST case of altezzas comes from domestic trucks...

The torque brace should really be made independant of the strut brace...
The 3" TID will see the light within a week or so, since it's about the most simple thing we have lined up...

I second the comments that the angle braket brake master cylinder brace is garbage. It would be ok with some gussets. I'll probably play around with making my home made one better over the summer, and I'll post pics and a how-to once I'm satisfied with the design of it.
One thing I'm noticing is that many of the suggested products are already available, so you'd have to bend over on pricing to get any of those pieces sold. Keep it to the unique stuff, besides, it's better for us to have more products choices, rather than more choices in who makes the products IMHO.

Ok...I think I'll just list the things I'd like to see...
-Triangulated strut bar
-Engine torque brace
-Rear strut bar *that will go down and UNDER the carpet..I don't mind cutting the metal surroundings, but I want to keep my rear carpet in tact, as to not lose any space..*
-Not in the market for it right now, but eventually some kind of stronger subframe, or something along the lines of bracing underneath.
-Metal brake ducts
-Ducting for the stock radiator, with AC still in.
That's all I can think of right now...
