Talking RC350 F-SPORT Atomic Silver

Hey guys just picked up my RC350 F-SPORT on Sunday and so far am loving it! I got it in Atomic Silver on Rioja Red interior with Mark Levinsons Package. So far I've debadged the back, and blacked out the rear emblem and grille. I'm also going to vinyl wrap the roof black soon. Any suggestions to what I should do to the exhaust?

Replace it with the F-Sport exhaust and diffuser.

Very nice! A question about your paint. I have an RC as well and the paint code is 1J2. Unless I am incorrect, this color is referred to as Sonic Silver. Is yours the same paint code?

The blacked out trim looks nice. I haven't seen your color in person but I'm liking it from your pics Congrats!

I believe the paint you're talking about it called Silver Lining Metallic for the RC. The silver lining is more of a straight silver while the atomic silver is a bit darker, gun metal look, nothing close to the nebula pearl grey.

Congrats! Love the RC in this color

Have you looked into the Ark Performance exhaust? I believe they may have something available or at least in the works for the RC.

I have a question for you guys, I know this is weird but is it possible to remove the printed stuff on the windows? Like where it says Lexus in small font with some specs about the glass and stuff.

Nice, another Atomic Silver. Can't wait to see the after photos! Are you planning on plastidipping the chrome trim on the doors too?

Wow! I should've gone with my gut and got the Atomic Silver. After seeing this, it looks so much more cleaner and unique. I went with the Ultra White with red last minute! Ohh well, It'll have to do I guess . I can't complain. Next Lex will definitely be a silver trim. Nice RC .

I like both colors. You should consider applying 22ple to the paint to really make it shine
