How difficult is the instal? Looks like the orange one is just ro remove the bolt and swap. The front looks more tricky. Can you run it by me fow to install?

Are you still running full Icode exhaust? How good are the cats, any smell with headers combo?

Yes, still running the full Icode with catted mid pipe. Barely any exhaust smell, the cats work well.

There's always going to be increased NVH when stiffening the bushings. I don't remember if I already had the figs/superpro diff bushings when I did the subframe bushings but the added NVH would be more pronounced with the poly bushings. Install, as shown in my pictures in post #203, you just remove the bolts, drop the bottom metal pieces and add/replace the pieces. Fairly easy, do one corner at a time so the subframe doesn't move/shift. I do believe I got them from RHD Japan but it's been a while so I could've gotten them through my friend in Japan as well.

Installed some Novel/Endless RC F front brake
lines. These are ~1” longer which works perfectly with how I had to clock the caliper fitting away from the coilover *****. Stock length looked a little short when at full turn.

Redid the center console clear coat and decided to try a different finish on the shifter gate trim, I think it turned out to be almost like a brushed titanium look

Changed up a couple things. Bloxracing Honda shiftknob and black CF (hydrodipped) mirror covers.
White shiftknob was not available with M8 threads so I ordered the M10. Drilled, tapped, and used a thread insert.

Nice!

I remember seeing a post from the guy that had these Ti braces made. I knew it was just a matter of time until one of these found its way onto your build. 🤣

Ron, what are you using to fasten the heat shield? I searched your thread, could find the note of it. I saw @funshine made custom brackets in post #52 (Lexus F-Sport Underbody Chassis Brace on IS-Fthread), I wanted to see what did you ended up doing or how you going to address that.
