I am now seriously thinking about forgetting about the carbon fiber option but with TVD option. This white one is sold already. A black one with TVD and without carbon fiber will be here on first week of December. Carbon Fiber model will be here on late February. What do you guys think? Is Carbon Fiber option really worth it?

The engine and exhaust note is intoxicating. The sound alone sold me. Couldn't test drive the RC-F as it is sold already.

"The RC F uses a staggered wheel and setup, with 255/35R19 front and 275/35R19 rear tires. A flat tire repair kit in place of a spare tire saves vehicle weight."
Flat tire repair kit or 1-800-25-Lexus or AAA
Laws in different countries where spare tires are required & must be delivered with new vehicles..
Example: LFA's in the Gulf countries had a spare wheel & tire..

Look at the photo of the TVD and drive mode control. To the right you can see the seat perforation. I think the seat is Nuluxe (not 100% sure). Very soft to the touch and doesn't feel like leather.

^ I too had the honor of checking out this beauty and getting a chance to sit in it. Just as Chu mentioned, its sold already so no test drives. I told my salesman that if this car wasn't sold I would love to pick it up.The seats are NuLuxe but boy are they comfortable. So this RCF doesn't have a moonroof... If I was going to sacrifice the CF, I would atleast want a moonroof. Maybe because this is the first wave of RCFs, Japan doesn't know what they want to release to Guam just yet... ?

Interesting -- the headlamp washers shown here are different than the ones included in the RC350 all-weather package in the USA, which look as shown here (the linked article says this is an RC F): http://reviewcars2016.com/wp-content...f-release-.jpg . I do think that Guam got the good end of the stick there aesthetically..
