There is no specific publication with that info...

The CF package will include the heavier TVD unit as well.

We just need to get a few variants on a certified scale.

http://s.response.jp/article/2014/10/23/235701.html this article claims a 10kg weight saving from the hood, roof, engine cover and rear wing.

i can see 10kg for roof and spoiler , but should be more with hood

If the RC has an aluminum hood then there won't be much, if any, weight savings going to carbon fiber.

Would any of you guys think that because it doesnt have a CF Roof and no sunroof that it would be considered a deal breaker? Im on the fence on this one cause i wanted a sunroof...

no, thats exactly how I want the roof. I hardly use the sunroof, they weigh more, reduce integrity, and reduce headroom

I have no idea why Lexus would build one without a moonroof. Especially for an expensive car like this and it's in Guam!!

Well i guess this is just one of those times im going to have to say F-it! and just buy the damn car so i could sleep at night lol...

Dealer instructions for the loan has been sent, waiting to speak to the FSM and close the price of the car, get the tint done, get my new baby all cleaned up, and then have it delivered to me by Mon or Wed... I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So your the one who bought the white one! Congratulation! I back out on the black RC-F coming in on the first week of December and order a Infrared one for January production and first week of February delivery. Black is so nice when clean.

^ Thanks Chu! I got a good deal thats hard to pass up and its more of a spur of the moment buy considering i originally wanted CF with Red Int... but oh well lol, I hate waiting and white is my favorite color so im already sold. I look forward to meeting up with you when you get your Infrared F and do a cruise with the rest of the Lexus Owners of Guam.

Guam only can get Black NuLuxe interior. Initially tried to order black with red interior but was told we are not able to. Just met Albert (GSGuam) and he just ordered the silver with full carbon fiber option. I opt out on the carbon fiber as it is not going to look nice on Infrared exterior color nor am I going to be tracking the car. Rather spend the $2-3K for carbon fiber on something else.

Yeah let's meet up once I get my RC-F in early February.

Moonroof is anathema to a performance car. More weight, less rigidity, less room for helmet. But we're not talking about a super lightweight sportster, are we? For me, it's just something I don't use very often. You will see hardcore enthusiasts looking at "moonroof delete" as a very desirable (rare) option on used cars. Might even help resale with some.

Seems like Guam has a few RcF for a small island , probably the most per km2 lol
I actually took interest to where this island was . Looks really nice might have to take a vac there one day
