Default Stripper RC F

Is this what a typical stripper looks like? Only option it has are leather seats. No triple beams. It has an empty slot where buttons for heated/ventilated buttons are normally at, like what you see on the TE.

Are the lines on both sides of the car from the factory? Never seen that on an RC F.

Finally, it’s missing a lot of buttons to the left of the steering wheel.

Those strips on the side are to prevent door dings. They sure aint for their looks They were added by a previous owner

I don't think those are leather seats. Those are the base model seats that has the Nulux material on it. It is some synthetic material I have in my 2019 Lexus IS350 F-Sport as well.

Lol I remember when cars used to come stock with those door ding strips; so ugly.

Does the RCF even offer real leather? Thought they were all NuLuxe.

Geez! How did I miss that? Now I look at it and it is crazy how terrible and out of place it looks. Never knew Lexus put these on RCFs or it was installed aftermarket possibly?

It is genuine leather. The lower end cars like my IS including the IS500 only have Nulux. RCF has genuine leather.

I don't think they ever did; that one looks like a universal side molding kit.

Good to know. I guess I should start using leather conditioner on them lol.

Those are door canards to keep the 4,000 pound car from getting airborne at high speeds

The RC F premium package still includes genuine leather but the base model is Nuluxe. The regular RC, however, only comes in Nuluxe I believe cause my old 2018 RC350 FSport came with Nuluxe too.

My 2019 IS350 F-Sport is also NuLux even with the F-Sport package 3. However, I am pretty happy with it. It feels and looks pretty good for fake leather.

@tecman LOL, good post.

Something interesting I may have found. On the pre face lift models, all models came with rear center console/cupholders.

-Rear-seat center console with cupholders
-Rear-seat center armrest with trunk
pass-through

For the post face lift models, the rear center console is now include in the “Premium Package”. This means a post stripper RC F shouldn’t have rear center console.

Stripper back seat pic from pre face lift model from original post. I’ll try to find a stripper post face lift rear seat.

How funny. I've been looking for something fun and cheap and planned on taking a look at this exact car after this snow storm clears out.

Feel free to talk me out of or into it.

What do we think about the price? Seems like a most unpopular car that is absolutely dogged on by the reviewers, that never sold well and is near the end of it's life span should be a bit lower.

I'm thinking of dropping in the weekend and offering 35k.

Thoughts?

40K is definitely too much for that spec., IMO

The leather on my RCF seats feels like semi-aniline (I have that on my LS430 ultra but std leather on the LX470)
