I'll start it off:
Currently done:
1. AAWireless, wireless Android Auto is perfect and connects automatically on start-up. Also have a wireless charger in the armrest storage area
Planned:
1. PPF, tint, ceramic coating
2. Uniden R7 radar detector + Thinkware U1000 dashcam hardwire
3. Swapping out incandescent turn signals to LED, also interior amber lights to 3000K LEDs
4. Figs 90 durometer front LCA
5. RC-F shift paddles?? (I like the blue + and -)
6. F-Sport illuminated sills, Cargo Net
7. Some sort of catback exhaust with controllable valve
Just a couple things I have planned, will have more later!

I just put the transponder on the headliner/moonroof cover of my 2IS. It works well and is easy to remove/adjust without having to see it all the time. I'm not sure if the 3IS clearance is as big as the 2IS but it might work.

I don't think so. I only put it up when I need to designate that I have 2 or 3 people (due to the new expresslane crap..). I have a sticker that actually works for all other FastTrak purposes on my windshield.

The only mods I am planning on doing to mine are the LCA bushing replaced to either the RC F or Figs 80 - I think the 90 might be a bit too harsh for me. I must admit I am intrigued by the paddle replacement but not sure I'll bother.
EDIT:
So here is my modified list:
1. LCA bushings (RC F or FIGS)
2. I would love to swap the gas/brake/foot pedal from the 2013-2020 IS 350 F Sport - I loved that style much better than the current MY, looked more sporty IMO
