I find the RC350 F Sport rims to be better looking than the stock GS350 F Sport rims.

Does it have any of that raspy/ricey sound I've been hearing on others 4GS exhaust videos?

I'm thinking the mid pipe is what creates that tone?? I hate that raspy sound. I just want a deeper tone when at idle and when you step on it but none of the drone inside. Maybe I can swing by one day and check out the sound in person?

How do you add the pic and upgrade list to your signature? I've messed around with the settings and can't figure it out. Maybe I don't have enough posts yet is why I'm thinking it won't let me

Love the car!

Would remove the TRD badge imo. Car is too classy to have that.

I guess you have never read up on the Lexus "F" line of cars and TRD's involvement in creating them. Without TRD or Akio Toyota there would be no F or F Sport cars.

You're going to have an uphill battle convincing the public that the TRD badge belongs on a Lexus. I think that is exactly why TRD parts on a Lexus are labelled F. The "F Marque" was trade marked by Mr. Toyoda for a reason.

I totally get it where is he coming from basically there would be no Lexus if there was no Toyota but as u said that's the last thing I would do is to put a Toyota emblem on a Lexus, there's a reason I'm driving the Lexus otherwise Avalon and Camry are pretty luxurious too.

Really? Is that why the parts came marked TRD Japan and had Toyota part numbers. I guess Akio is having a fit every time he see any of these photos.









The Lexus Racing hauler must be an eye sore to him as well

Thanks to TRD Japan, I will swap out the emblem when I receive it and am in town again.
