I agree. However very few options for the facelift model. I was hoping to go with a subtle kit to get the effect of the car being lower w/o actually lowering it.
I have the NIA rear spoiler which I do like. I like their side skits also. Just cannot commit to the front spoiler as it is just a little to chunky for me.
i happened to spot an RC-F this morning. Although just passing by but I did notice a smallish wing on the front splitter, car was Infrared looked great.

if you’re so inclined, customize one. I’ve seen people split the front spoiler into two pieces. The gap left in the middle looked really aggressive.

yeah this is also a nice option. What I pictured is a full length lip with a section cut out the middle.

Thanks guys. Don’t think I have the skills/intestinal fortitude to cut one up. I am however starting to lean toward the TRD version. It is not quite as bulky as others. Now just chasing the best price.

yea I agree. But I can get both the lip and side skirts from NIA for about the same price and probably get it sooner. Oh well first world problems.

To my RC350 F Sport in Incognito/Black Onyx I added Sport Decals to both doors and Gloss Black spoiler. The exterior is now completed so I will move on to performance upgrades.

That looks really nice. Did you have to drill holes in the truck lid to install?

Thank you and no. It is just taped on. They supplied the tape for quick easy install. I have had tape on spoilers on my BMW’s always held just fine. My

Mine is the OEM spoiler and the dealer would not install it without drilling holes in the trunk lid and installing heavy duty springs. They wanted $400 to do it but I negotiated them down to $300. They told me they put silicone around the holes to prevent any water leaks. Took about 3 1/2 hours.

My dealer refused to install the OEM spoiler. Said they had too many issues. I am sure yours will be fine.
I may go with the NIA front spoiler and side skirts to complete the look. Either that or the TRD front spoiler. Both are about the same $. Just procrastinating on the final decision.

Can't wait to see what ever you wind up doing.
