I am looking at brewing a Grapefruit IPA and looking at the following hop additions:

      .75 oz. Summit @ 60 mins.
      .5 oz. Citra @ 30 mins.
      1 oz. Cascade @ 10 mins.
      1 oz. Cascade@ 5 mins.
      Dry hop 1 oz. Cascade

Any changes or suggestions?

Thanks.
 
Have you tried Ahtanum hops?  One of my homebrew friends makes a grapefruit IPA with these hops and it's delicious.  Very much like fresh squeezed grapefruit.  The Antanum is much more grapefruity than cascade is.
 
Try 1 oz of Galaxy hops at flame out.  They are a very grapefruity hop, much more so than citra or cascade.
 
Now I can't wait to try Galaxy and Ahtanun. Ever since I had Boneyard' s RPM IPA I have been trying to recapture that grapefruit goodness.
