where did you get the shelf/tray from?

Usual source from Japanparts. Link is HERE. I don't remember what the part number is but the Toyota item code is 64429F.

Do you think now that the ts is coming to the USA parts will be available through us dealers? I'm wanting that rear subframe but $500 in shipping is brutal

Why do you want the rear subframe? Keep in mind that some of the parts are just the same. They just have different bushings. I don't remember anyone identifying any difference in the subframe apart from the bushings. Same holds for the rear lateral and trailing links. Same part, with just changed bushes to pillow ball bushings.

I think(in this build or it could be someone else) it was mentioned it was the path of least resistance to just buy the subframe with all the bushings installed vs buying all the bushings and paying for someone to press them in

Unless those parts are on the US version of the tS (which I doubt), don't expect them to be. JSM parts will still only be distributed to their intended market.

Thoughts on the transmission mount? I tried to search back, but couldn't find it.

It's actually hard for me to provide details on the transmission mount alone as I did all the mounts and bushings at the same time. There's definitely more feedback but also more vibration in the shifter, especially at idle. It's definitely less so than a lot of other mounts as STi uses hardened rubber rather than polyurethane.

There's a new mod here haha. Subtlety is key.

Sweet!

I was thinking about getting the same TRD Fender Extensions painted WRB. Do you have a shot further away with both and rear?

Unfornunately I don't have the rear on yet as there was a minor issue with paint. It's currently back at the shop to be refinished.

That looks GREAT, very subtle and clean addition.

Please post pics once you get the rears on, this mod was something I've been contemplating adding for a while now but there are only a few pics online and not in WRB.
