Quick update - got gifted RR Racing's carbon fiber intake shield so installed that recently. My jack broke so wasn't able to relocate some things that were recommended in the instruction manual, namely the horn/siren that requires bolts from underneath the wheel well, but seems to work fine as is. Quick and easy mod for some extra HP.




Happy holidays!

Been pretty busy but was able to add some mods today. Upgraded to a carbon fiber hood vent from Elvin, excellent quality. My previous hood vent was just wrapped in faux carbon fiber and not done properly so the edges were lifting (it was my own DIY...)




Also picked up one of his courtesy lights.

Pretty bright, though probably is calibrated for a stock height car though so the edges are not as crisp as they should. Pretty satisfied overall!





Dropping off my car next week to get a full body wrap, so stay tuned...

Got my car back from wrap today! So happy with how it turned out. If you need a rec for vinyl wrap in SoCal, let me know. Still buzzing about how it looks. Of course, hit a pothole and tore out my fender liner on the way home from the shop.

Here are some pics!

The front lip, sideskirts, and rear wing are from Yishao Chen, he's a seller on FB that sells CF parts for the RCF. He commonly posts on the group, Lexus RCF Owners. Rear diffuser was bought second hand, but I believe may also be by Yishao. All high quality pieces, hasn't faded in over a year that I've had it on the car.

Carbon fiber mirror caps are from eBay (slip on), and the fender vents are from a seller that no longer produces them unfortunately.

More photos and added RR Racing's Carbon Fiber front Lexus emblem. Fitment is okay, the circumference is smaller than the original logo by 1-2mm, so there is a gap at the top. If you use enough silicone adhesive it might prop it up a little more, but wish they used screws that used the original mounting brackets. Not sure if I like it, may revert back to OEM if it doesn't grow on me.




Front grille badge before:


After:


Can really see the gap here up close and with proper lighting/camera flash, but hard to see otherwise due to the recessed nature of the badge housing

What color is this wrap?

I had Gloss Storm Gray, but that was more of the Chalk color from Porsche.

This shade is much darker.

CF front lip is by Yishao Chen and he has it named "G Style". This is his profile, can PM him for more pictures and other things that he has. Don't think he has a website or anything, but he is commonly used on the Lexus RC F Owners FB page.

The wrap name is Dark Gloss Gray by Avery Dennison.
