Ordered these a while back.
Now, if I could remember which project they're for.

Did you order the decals with the standard or high gloss finish? Will be ordering some here soon.

Those are fun :-) I built the Mclaren and have a Honda in the box. Amazing suspension detail for a tiny kit (in its day)

Oh that Mclaren is sweet! I didn't know Kyosho made these.
Regarding the decal set, I got the gloss overcoat. I think "standard" is no overcoat and the printed areas are really flat and perhaps could scratch easily if you're not careful. It's personal choice of course but I think if the decal is being applied to a shiny lexan surface then the decal should also be shiny. If the decal is being applied to say a painted surface then maybe the decal should not be shiny. I'm planning to run the car so I'm looking for some abrasion resistance as well and I think the overcoat will provide some protection.

Some faux, quasi, sorta looks like (if you squint really hard and use your imagination) "vintage looking" G10, nuts and ball ends. I'm really surprised that those anno small pattern aluminum nuts are still available after all these years.

Shapeways 91 Stealth parts and aluminum bar for standoffs, wing mounts, etc. The 3d printed parts are the "replica" versions but since these are going onto a shelfer I'm not concerned about strength and durability. Just a few more items to arrive and I'll be ready to begin construction of both cars.

Are those shock clips? Are they any good as in strong enough to run?

Yes, Nix Concepts calls them the "shock prep set". Although I don't plan to do so, I don't think I would hesitate to run my car with these shock clips. After all, the stress is in compression so they should be fine. The failures that typically occur with these parts are with the suspension arms.
I think these clips are still available from RPM as well. If so, they would be injection molded.
