I've taken off my car's front + rear bumpers, headlight, foglights, and tail lights and put them back on (mainly to replace burnt bulbs here and there).

Lubed my sway bar bushings, which means I had to take them off and put them back on.

Replaced my suspension with the help of a friend.

Installed wheel spacers.

Installed bolt-on parts like a strut bar and an intake. Lolz this should count too.

I am not afraid of work on my car as long as there is a DIY. Thank god there is an entire forum for the Lexus IS. If its a bigger job, I usually ask my friend who works at a shop to give me a hand or teach me to do it.

Working on your own car is a large portion of the fun in modding. Once an install is done, it feels very rewarding and satisfying too.

I've done a bunch of simple bolt-on for my cars. (strut bars, exhaust, intake)
Maintenance on my cars. (oil change, dif, tranny, brake, clutch, coolent flush, brake rotors+pads)
Changed the shock+springs few times on my integra and coil-over install on my silvia.
Bunch of suspension bushings and steering rack bushing. Extended lugs
Giving mechanic friend a hand with my 5 speed swap on my integra.

Then there's a bunch of random stuff like taking apart bunch of different panels, taking my bumpers off and putting them back on a bunch of times to either paint them or to do some work behind them.
Or just adjusting the idle of my car and installing some Recaros
All of this was learnt from the internet and/or asking someone about suggestions or tips.
