New owner of a 2016 Lexus RC F and a 2014 Lexus IS 350. Worked on cars my whole life but just as a hobbyist, not for a living. Hope to find out some good information here. Thanks for sharing.

Hello. There are little or no posts here. I joined a week ago and i dont think anyone responded yet. Maybe i can learm from you since it seems you have a lot more experience with Lexus than i do. I have been a BMW guy for 20 yrs, (Modified 335i) since 2007. I love my 2015 RC F so far!

haven't done any work on mine yet other than removing pinstriping and cheap paint on trim. why on earth someone would paint trim and lug nuts with cheap paint no primer and apply vinyl pinstriping to such a beautiful car, I will never know...

Well i guess there is still no one here? I am getting a carbon fiber rear spoiler today! I bought it from Auto anything. It is exact fitment/replacement for the factory spoiler. I decided to stay with the original design.I also painted my calipers. Unfortunately they will have to be done again when i wear out the brake pads the dealer installed. I HATE brake dust. If they weren't new i would just change them out now to ceramics. Have you done any mods yet?

Not yet, just enjoying the hell out of it stock for now. I would like to get cf rear spoiler, have you ever seen a cf hood vent? I think that would also be a good accent. Mine came with the orange calibers, with a blue F, I have three kids at UF, so it looks great to me.

Thanks. I ordered some CF for the steering wheel from Eppar on Amazon. It took a month to get (chinese). I sent them a message and they credited my account for the $49.99, so it wasn’t all bad. I think it looks good.

Greetings to you both. Yes I made a post about a week to two weeks ago introducing myself and no response yet . Seems like this Lexus forum is dead. They do have a fb group page rc f that is more active . And they also have another Lexus forum that is little more active than this

Nice!

New owner here as well. Not a lot activity here. Guess we newbies here need to get connected and learn from each other.
