Default My New USB RC-F!

Picked her up Monday night and it's been raining since!





Sure hope I don't miss the old girl... had a blast with her the last several years!





Dark and sinister!

Absolutely stunning! I have only seen 2 RCFs and both were black. I would love to see USB and Molten Pearl in person.

Congratulations! Looks gorgeous! I now have USB envy. Really wanted that color but no dealer had the gray interior.

Congrats on the new ride!! That USB color is incredible. We have a few RCF's rolling around SoCal in that color. It's most impressive when the sun hits it. At night it's almost a blueish purple. I love it.

Thanks guys! I went for the stealth sleeper look on my IS-F, but since this car is so aggressive, I went the complete opposite direction with the loud color!

For anyone locally interested, I got the car last day of November for a total of $11k off including the $3k cash back rebate from Lexus. I do not know if it is still active for the month of December or not, so I did not wait for it. I got the car from Lexus of Smithtown in Long Island, only one left with the USB. The northeast does not have close to the supply of RC-F's still unsold in Cali, Florida, or Texas therefor I had to work a bit harder on the discount. They lowballed me a little bit on my IS-F trade in, but the savings on the RC-F made it easier to swallow.

Car has everything but the Performance Package and PCS, which I did not need, however I wanted the 20 spokes, and again in the northeast only the fully loaded near $79k RC-F's have that option.

I traded my 2012 ISF that I absolutely loved, but since I jumped to the RC F (carbon USB) I have not looked back. The engine is everything I expected.

You'll love the new F!

Just picked up our USB yesterday.. I feel you! Love how you captured the purple fleck in the clear coat. Photos just do NOT do this paint job justice. It seriously is the most incredible stock paint job I have ever seen on any car, ever. It's so complex. It can go from bright electric blue in the direct light to glowing purple in others to sleek and elegant dark blue azul in others. We bought ours sight unseen since there has never been one brought to the island yet. The wife wanted it.. I wanted charcoal like our previous IS350 and current CT200. I rolled my eyes again and again.. and gave in.. and now I'm damn glad I did.

I also agonized and still am on the exact wheel finish color to go with this. We originally had medium smoke clear over brushed aluminum on order from Vossen.. but after seeing how bright the blue is, changed it to light smoke clear over brushed aluminum on the VPS-314s. Only 3-4 more weeks now hopefully until they arrive..
