Default I'm In

Well, I pulled the trigger tonight. I leased an RC350 F-Sport. I got the black with red interior. I don't know why I got red when I really wanted black interior but at the last minute I grabbed the keys and didn't put them down. I am really happy.

No pics. No way. It's not rimmed and dropped so not worthy of pics yet. Are there springs available for it yet? Gotta check that out. Gonna black out the chrome, install my amp and subwoofer but that's about it. Maybe a front splitter when one becomes available but thats a huge maybe. It really doesn't need a kit. Drop is mandatory. Rims are super-mandatory.

Tomorrow I will bring home a 4GS for wifey. If I get a new car, she wants one too.

Congrats! I just picked up a RC 350 F-Sport last Friday. Mine is atomic silver with black interior. I haven't had time to take many pictures yet. Yes a drop is a must...too much stock wheel gap on this beast. That's going to be my next modification after tint.

Sorry, I just find black interiors to be, well, just "black and white" with no depth, and dark, flat lacking personality. I personally like red interiors, and when I've had them they never stopped giving me a rush and making me happy every time I got into them. Black with red interiors are one of the nicer combinations, except I get crazy trying to keep black looking good. When clean, however, black looks among the best. Obviously, it's all personal preference or we'd all being driving the same cars.

Day 2 and I find the red interior very hot.
I also turned the traction control off and has a serious spin-out. Didn't know the RC350 could do that. Won't be doing it again. Well, not often. As I suspected, my wide butt doesn't like the narrow seat. But it is what it is. When I start making more moulah, I'll consider changing the seats. I'd love to get the RC-F seats in there. That's if I buy the car. Haven't made that decision yet but it is a consideration.
So far so good.

With regard to the narrow seats. What I found that helped is to remove my wallet from my back pocket and that seemed to help a lot. Also by changing the seat back, length, etc. you will find a spot that is just so right. It took me about a week to get the sweet spot.

I agree with GearHead69. I couldn't get rid of the pressure points until I removed my wallet. Made all the difference in comfort. After 3 months of use (1400 miles) I can't say it has broken in any so the wallet comes out each time I sit in the car.

My butt is getting used to the seat but its still a tight fit. I'll try the wallet trick.
