I'm totally happy with the "F" badge on the fender, and the entire car.

That's curious. If the dealer gave you the wrong mats for your car, he should give you the correct ones. If you are putting them in a RC350 that's not an F-Sport, you won't fool anybody but yourself, and you might as well get Ferrari Floor Mats.
So " F Sport " really means "Fast looking options" since there is no inherit performance upgrade other than the tuned suspension on a RC350 . Am I right ?

You get upgraded 19" wheels with so so tires...
A honey comb grill to catch those bugs with...
Floor mats....
Aluminum brushed pedals...
Did I miss something?

In a nutshell yes. You do also get Blind Spot monitoring w/cross traffic alert, configurable TFT display, Adaptable Variable Suspension (AVS), and the Sport+ Mode button that adjusts the suspension and adjusts the transmission shifting points.

Default F sport

I'd rather they add the F-sport exhaust and the F-sport tuned intake with conical filter (CAI) to the badging. But they choose to sell them as accessory items. Seems like backwards thinking to me?
Blind spot monitoring and cross traffic warning is available to all models. And can't you adjust the shift points with paddle shifting? Which all models have again ?

I agree as I bought a Takeda CAI. With regard to the Blind spot monitoring and cross traffic warning it comes with the F-Sport package where others have to add it. Yes you can adjust the shifting pattern with the paddle shifters, but with Sport+ they shifter faster when in full Auto. That's standard with the F-Sport package, and yes you can add that piece meal to the car.

Thanks GearHear69 for posting all the photos and especially the passenger side info. I'm surprised the proof readers hadn't caught the green wire error. You saved me a lot of time.


Sills look nice in the end.

I'm glad I could be of help, and Yes those sills make the car look even sharper. There is a certain satisfaction and pride in knowing that you did something yourself.

Just take you time, especially when taking off the current door sills, and such. They will really make you car stand out, and my dealer loves the look. They asked who did them, and I smile and said I did. Feels great doing your own mods.

Before you put everything back in make sure the lights work correctly so you don't have to take them out.

So for the passenger side, the thinner green wire is the correct one? Not the thicker, darker green one.

Use the wire on pin 11 as that is the correct one. I can't remember if it was darker or thinner, but if you use the green wire on pin 11 as in the pic that I posted you will be good.
