Lightbulb You left out the meat and potatoes from the sticker

need to confirm the steering wheel, i feel like it's got power telescoping so maybe tilt too; could be wrong.
it did come with ML audio and some other extras
bsm now comes standard but it's not in the fuji for weight savings; im good with that
no memory seating

fuji is offered in slightly diff colors than the 20 t.e.
  • fuji is arctic blast satin (new white color) or cloudburst grey
    • arctic blast has a premium cost, not much relative to the overall vehicle cost
  • track edition is ultra white or matte nebula grey

I looked up a bunch of pics and if you don't have a power adjusting button on the steering column under the turn signal stalk, then it's not power... You likely have a lever on the bottom side of column that allows you to adjust tilt and height once unlocked.. Manually

Also some other quick tid bits:FUJI TRACK PACKAGE
  • Active Sound Control deletion
  • Carbon Fiber rear bumper
  • Titanium exhaust & muffler
  • Red Brembo front brakes
  • Carbon Fiber lip and air dam front spoilers
  • Carbon Fiber glove box
  • Carbon Fiber roof, hood and fixed wing
  • Large Carbon Fiber rocker and lower door molding

I don't think the exhaust is full titanium

I'm still throwing around the idea of getting the titanium midpipe from gt haus

yeah, all of the obvious weight savings im clear on like the cf stuff and brakes. and confirmed that the steering wheel adjustments are manual. no floor jack either. all stuff im cool with to save that weight. the active sound control i didn't realize. it does seem quiet compared to the 17 (both with stock exhaust) now that i think about it. well we can't have that! lol. just ordered some ppe el headers to pair with the ppe elite series exhaust i had on the 17. thought about novel headers but went for the hrrsspprrss and waiting patiently for rs-r to release coils that support avs. not planning on modding it much so no build thread. just getting spirited miles in. at 500 now.

I am still at just below 200km on my TE. Did not even have a chance to drive it on the highway as the weather is now completely unsuitable for the summer tires. My free one month checkup is already due, but I guess I will do that in the spring.
I think mine will stay original for the most part.

Yeah, your TE battery is brand new almost. Now that you are parking your RCF TE, make sure you get a trickle charger to keep the battery health in good shape. My underground garage does not have outlets so my battery lasted about 4 years. Probably, would have lasted longer with a trickle charger.

Congratulations - shes a beauty ! Curious, this is a satin paint - does it carry the same special care restrictions as the matte paint from the anniversary edition 2019 models ?

Aside from color - any differences to note from the 2020 Track Edition ?

I believe the 21 Fuji cars have a clear coat so normal maintenance. Nothing different from 20/21 other then badging.

thank you! yeah, it's a new color for lexus this year. they market as durable enough paint to go through automated car washes and not have the same issues as standard matte. but this one will only ever be hand washed by me. fixing the paint may have similar issues. hopefully i'll never need to find out but in general i hear it's very difficult to fix scratches and scuffs in matte so i did full car ppf.

it really is the same car from my research, even the badging, just offered in different colors than t.e., the owner gets a watch and the 21 is officially tagged as fuji namesake. but technical difference is really only the paint to my knowledge.

Does the window sticker say "RC F TRACK" or "RC F FUJI"
