My Molten 350 build to date
Hello all, I purchased my Molten RC350 F-Sport AWD in June and immediately wanted to get started on mods. I'm currently done for the season other than some small items to keep the fires burning. So I'll list what I've done so far and post some before and after pics. I'm sure some will ask me "hey! Why no new rims?"... I actually like the Stock F-Sport wheels (I did dress them up tho and really enjoy the very cost effective alternative to very expensive custom alloys) I will mention I'm in the process of adding a nitrous system next spring. I can list the parts I've acquired so far if anyone's interested but my builder and I are looking to up the HP an additional 75-100hp. Here is the list of mods so far.
*K & N typhoon cold air intake.
*Greddy axle back exhaust..
*Both secondary cats removed (added some nice snarl to go with the Greddy and added 10hp at the wheels)
*RSR Super down lowering springs (an absolute must with the AWD model, the gap in front was embarrassing, lol).
*Spacers 22mm rear and 20mm front. I've seen the thread on here discussing this and I can tell you that the consensus of 15 square just isn't enough. Also 25 rear will have you sticking out...if that's your thing. My builder and I think the 20/22 set-up is just about perfect and I have zero rub.
*RR Racing front lower control arm bushings. These are a must if you want your car to handle, feel and brake better and they are very inexpensive. Check out their website and definitely watch the video.
*Megan racing adjustable rear upper control arms. You'll probably need these if you go with the Super down springs to control camber.
*Real Carbon fiber front spoiler, side sills and rear diffuser. Non-carbon fiber rear trunk spoiler but it will be carbon wrapped soon. Carbon look wheel well protector's.
*Color coded RimBlades for the wheels. Great for protecting from curb rash as well as dressing up the stock rims.
*Translucent black out of the front headlights and rear taillights. Peels off easily if you want to adjust the look...I know I've done the front 3 times. Rust o'leum product like plasti-dip.
*Body color front lower blade (see before n after)
*Carbon Fiber F license plate frame.
*Plasti-dipped rear badges (fun project)
Here's the to do list: Nitrous. Ultra performance summer tires, paddle shift extenders, carbon roof wrap, spoiler wrap. The nitrous and tires are spring projects the others are the winter projects. And other fun stuff as I come across them. Now here's some pics. I hope you like.

This is the seller but there are several others as well http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-16-Lexus-...item2a7b571755
Btw...I just busted my second front spoiler, I probably won't replace it. If you don't plan on lowering your ride then you'll probably be ok. Otherwise be prepared to replace them anytime to kiss a concrete lip, speed bump or any driveway with an incline
