Anyone done a IPA with NZ hop recipe?

Have you done an IPA with new Zealand hops? What's a good recipe for all grain? Any suggestions of craft beers that use them?

Beers I like with NZ hops are Widmer's Bro's Drifters Pale Ale and Moon Man (New Glarus Brewing - Wisconsin).

New Glarus is close hold on their recipes so I made an attempt. To me, it didn't taste anything like theirs but was a good, very good beer that had that "guava", citrus hop taste to it.

Here is my all grain, 10gallon recipe:
14lbs - 2-Row
2 lbs - Cara 40
2 lbs - Carapils
1 lbs - white sugar
60 min Boil
Hops:
45 Mins from end: 1 oz Chinook
30 Mins from end: 1 oz Nelson Sauvin (NZ); 1 oz Wilamette
15 Mins from end: 1.5 oz Motueka (NZ); 1 oz Willamette, .5 oz Chinook
5 Mins from end: 1.5 oz Motueka (NZ); 1 oz Chinook; 1 oz Rakau (NZ)
Dry Hopped: 1 oz Nelson Sauvin (NZ); 1 oz. Motueka (NZ); 1 oz. Rakau (NZ); .5 oz Chinook; .5 oz Willamette.

Used white labs WLP001 (I normally use Wyeast 1056).

Again, similiar to Moon Man but not enough to call a clone but definitelyl drinkable.
