Here is my 2017 RC 350 AWD. I am a few months away from my lease end but think I will keep it. I just still love this car. Not much has been done as it was a lease. With the exception of the side "F Sport" it is de-badged and I had all of the chrome blacked out with viny wrapping. The tail emblem is dipped. I installed orange Rim Savers (not pictured, orange valve stem caps). So, all in all, very stock. It does have the exhaust package and triple beam headlights.

Here’s what I’ve done to it so far:

19” Momo rims
Stoptech drilled rotors and pads
Tinted windows
K&N Intake system
RR Racing Tune

Next mod: Exhaust. I’m really worried about getting an exhaust that produces drone. Any suggestions?

ALL aftermarket exhaust will produce some kind of drone. Depends on your drone tolerance.

I can live a with a little drone, just not whole bunch of drone. Is there anything out there you can recommend? I don’t need my car to be the loudest on the street, but I also don’t want it to sound like a Prius. I’m struggling to find something that’s the right balance, and I don’t want to be one of those guys who just slaps something on, ends up regretting it, then has to go back to the stock exhaust. That’s a waste of money and time.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend anything. Awesome sound to my ears could be noisy or loud drone to you. Also, watching videos could give you an idea(slightly), but it's really different when you're hearing it in real life. Those exhaust rev videos sounds very nice, and yet, once you're already cruising on the highway - it's when those real noise comes out. So much variables to consider.

Not to mention the issues after the installation - never ending leaks. One small leak changes so much on the exhaust note.

Default Chrome delete/wrapped front grill & CF Lip

I finally wrapped the chrome around the windows and wrapped the front grill chrome also....but the center lip I had wrapped in Carbon fiber to match my front corner lips. Also had the center Lexus emblem tinted down a bit. and the back up and signal lights on the tails were tinted.
I think it gives the car an over all more aggressive look with the trim blacked out.
