Opted for no holes for the emblems.


@demik @RCF500. Love the fender inserts.

Is that from Artisan Spirits and real CF? Does it closely match the RC F's CF roof/wing? Where did u order it and what's the dent to the wallet?

Yes it is and it's real, I do not know if it matches closely but if you like I can take a up close picture of the part when I pick the car up today. I got mine from 360eliteusa and it's a lot cheaper than the other distributor.

Sure, more pics would be great if it's no bother. Thanks

Just finished the install of some Suntek PPF behind each wheel and in the door cups. The arrow in the photo shows the edge of the one behind the front passenger side wheel. I just bought five square feet for $40 as a test, and will now buy a much larger section for the hood. Installation was not difficult, but the curves are minor. I am really pleased with the result. I previously tried SchotchCal, but it was too cloudy.



Suntec film on the front passenger side rocker panel of an Obsidian Lexus RC-F.

Finally got my Joe-Z and found enough time to install it. It certainly took my breath away, and that's after having one on my previous IS-F, certainly an improvement!!!






Decided to spray it with high heat flat black on the front face and front quarter portion of the mufflers, to give it the OEM look, I really dislike the look of the cans from the back! I was originally going to spray the mufflers and axle back, but it was not worth the time IMO.

Default Dashmat for the RC-F

I put in my Dashmat today. I decided on red although I was worried about a reflection from the windshield or other unforeseen side effects. After driving around with it for a week (not fastened down), it seems to work fine, so I fastened it down. There are cutouts for the vents along the windshield and the day/night sensor.

Not my cup of tea

My dash is protected with windshield tint, 3M Crystalline 70%, and 303 Aerospace protectant.

+1

Not only does the 3M film protect from UV damage, it keep the dash/interior cooler and helps with glare. A must have.

No offense, but the dashmat distracts and not in a good way.

I also have Crystalline 70% on the front windshield, best investment you can make to protect the dash.

Agreed! Just have to worry not to get in trouble with the cops here in CA.
