DFW RC Meetup?

DFW RC Meetup?
Anyone in the DFW area interested in meeting up. I recently purchased my RC and would love to see what mods everyone has and just get familiar with the DFW crowd. I have seen a few RC's in my area (Carrollton/Lewisville) not sure if any of those people are on CL but it would be cool to meetup!
Let me know who's interested!

I would definitely be interested in meeting up. I live between Carrollton and Plano right off of George Bush. I asked about dfw meets in an other thread and never got a response :/
This is my current build. Nothing too fancy.

I'm down man! I'm off of 121 and Hebron. Not too far from bush at all. PM me, maybe we can find more people around the area. I don't have any mods yet but maybe you can take a look and give me a few ideas.

Forca and I have already met up once. He is on the left, I am on the right. Would love to have you come out with us one weekend!

I'm wanting to do mostly cosmetic stuff. was looking into vinyl work, but I cant find a shop in town that's not out to rip me off. to do my roof and the chrome part of the grille, i got quoted $1500. I immediately told them to go f** themselves with that amount. I've done some small vinyl work myself already but I'm not experienced enough for the large roof, or the intricate grille (which I've tried 6 times now)
Now I'm looking into rims. I'm really digging the black chrome 19" ones that Lexus sells but haven't pulled the trigger yet..

Youre not looking at any other wheels?

1500 for just the roof and grill is a straight rip off. What is the place so I know not to call them. haha. I'm trying to get into wrapping myself. Ive never tried it but im going to try and wrap my calipers. Hell, may even experiment with wrapping a body panel of my car. lol I'm a very DIY person. If you ever need help you can hit me up.

I'm usually a hands on DIY person too, but it kind of freaks me out to think that I need to remove the entire bumper to do that chrome grill the right way. I generally dont do much modding to my cars, but this RC has so much cool stuff out there that i want to add stuff to it for sure. I've seen people do their calipers and i love that look. I may give that a shot sometime too.
I (now regretfully) didn't go for the F sport version, at the time I was trying to be responsible and spend less lol. The only cosmetic thing I like about that F vs the non is that web grille. Apparently they're interchangeable, but I haven't seen anyone confirm that yet. and again, removing my bumper freaks me out...
When it comes to rims, I'm open to the idea of others, but just what Lexus makes, those black chrome ones are my favorite.

Oh yeah, I did a ton of research with people on this forum and $1500 was more than double what they told me I should expect to pay for those two areas. I wrapped the bottom aluminum looking lip in matte black and the trunk badge in gloss black. The lip was super easy, but that rear badge took a few tries. I honestly don't remember the shop, it was one of the sign stores that also does like advertisement car wraps. I got so frustrated after that, I haven't started looking again yet.

I swear ive seen somewhere about someone changing out the non f sport grill with a f sport one. ill have to search for it. I believe they are interchangeable. sucks you will have to remove the whole bumper. I need to learn how to. there are many clips and bolts everywhere lol
haha chances are you're thinking of my thread or posts about it that I made. I've heard that they SHOULD be interchangeable, but I haven't come across anyone who has actually done it. I sort of wanted confirmation before dropping the 1300 for the grille assembly. someone did make a really great video how to remove the front bumper on here somewhere though.

Everything I've read says it should fit, clips all appear to be in the same spots, but haven't found anyone who has actually done it yet. I may just have to bite the bullet and be the first..

Haha well the dealer was the first person I asked. I got a SHOULD fit from them. Lexus doesn't allow the dealership to do the grille swap on models anymore like they used to, so they've never done it. I just wanted one confirmed swap before I do it myself.
