Default New member - White on red RC 350 F Sport - Pics!

Hey guys. Just picked up the car today. So far I love it except like everyone else is saying I wish it was a little faster!

Here are my plans for mods in order of whats 1st. Tell me what you think. I already added 5% tint to the car and took the f sport/rc350 emblems off the back..

1. Black wrap on roof, chrome grille/window trim, red part of tail lights
2. Intake & Subwoofers/nav/tv hack
3. Lowering springs
4. Exhaust or muffler/resonator delete
5. Rims

The question is by doing the intake/exhaust will that make a noticeable difference in performance?

Also my last question is if I keep the stock rims and have them painted in gloss black do you think that will make them look amazing or should I go aftermarket?


Also heres my deal. I put $1500 down and my monthly payment is $520(Before 7% tax) a month for 48 month lease with 12k miles a year... was that a good deal?

Thanks everyone and look forward to being a member of the boards!

What did your car sticker for?

Mine stickered for 52,690. I leased it a few days ago, put 2k down, I'm paying 556 a month (that includes 9% tax and $18 for ding protection). I'm getting 10k miles (my work is 5 miles from my condo) on a 36/m lease.

Running the numbers it seems you got as great a deal as me if not better. Congratulations on both the car and the price!

Quick question - don't you get F-Sport floor mats in the U.S.?

Welcome to the club and congrats! The intake will give you a small gain, but an exhaust will do more. I'd leave the wheels as-is and get aftermarket wheels.
As far as your deal, you already got it so don't worry about it and enjoy your new car! Different regions get different deals.

Congrats OP! Can't go wrong with the red/white combo.

Look forward to seeing you fulfill that mod list
