You need the one for the Toyota FRS or BRZ, and switch out the outer bezel with the factory one.

There's another member here that has one on the RC F but didn't list the part number although did mention it was discussed in length in the IS and RC forums.

Dangit!
Yeah, no big deal at all. Just figured I would give you a heads up if you have yet to install it. There is a difference in the wiring connector. The link posted to the one for the Toyota 86 has a picture of the back end of the switch, and it looks like a perfect match for the wiring harness in the RC-F. JT2MA71 looks to have installed it (Thanks for that info).

Not sure yet if I will pick up the TRD switch for the 86 (it's more $). I may get the blue switch for the Lexus hybrid vehicles instead - Not TRD, but may be a cool match with the blue accent stitching in my RCF.

Where can you get the blue button from?

Replaced my front badge with the CF F from RR racing. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this turned out to be.


While I was at it, I used a kitchen scrub brush on my side radiators. This first pic is before, the second is after. Amazing how many thousands of dead bugs had collected there!

Throttle body side.


Air box side fits very very snag as you can see diameter difference.



Done! Only thing I would probably do different is get HPS radiator hose instead of RR. The blue on HPS is a much deeper hue and matches the rest of the blue scheme better.

Another one of those small mods that gives back nicely. My original plan was to pickup the full cf steering wheel but went with this ~$40 overlay for now.





Stepped up my wash and detail game. Pressure washer, soft water, foam gun, wet microfiber cloth, top - down wash, etc., etc. Learning all of that...

Was much easier to wash after clay, ceramic pro, xpel...20 spoke wheels were treated also so a little easier to clean but still a pita. Enjoyed going over the entire car and only took a little over an hour from start.

Freshly detailed. Going back into the parking stall to become garage queen for another few days

I like how ARH does the 4 to 1 collector.
What was your initial thought of the quality?
The welds & flange transitions on the mid pipe I had from them was so so. But that aside, I actually liked the way it sounded the best out of all 3 mid pipes I’ve had.
Curious what your feed back will be once installed.
