Last of the outside mods are complete on this one now after I paint matched the edges of my sideskirt extensions + rear spats, installed a Wald style spoiler...
"Wald style" spoiler, but not Wald? Care to share which vendor?

Correct. It's a replica of the original Wald spoiler. There are lots of sellers with them but the one I use from Taiwan always has perfect fitment and an excellent color match (they do unpainted too if you prefer). Had about 6 of these so far on all of the IS models I've owned:
Fun times! Did headers on the floor and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I also got my starter rebuilt and replaced motor mounts, starter harness protector and connector.
Koodos to JT2MA71. I saw in his build thread to support the motor on the sway bar. This has got to be one of the best tips I've learned on this forum. Although I did still keep a spare tire screw jack with a block of wood under the oil pan once the subframe was out of the way.
Koodos to lobuxracer for the subframe alignment tips thread. I'll put it on an alignment rack soon to see how it worked out. Last time I had the subframe off to weld up the cracked oem manifold I just used the alignment machine to get the wheel bases and camber equal on both sides.
