Default RC-F truck lid on RC?

Was hanging out at the dealership yesterday, looking at a RC-F on display. Would love to take the RC-F trunk (and spoiler) and use that on my vehicle.

Think this is possible? Control the near wing with a button?

Thoughts?

It would be a sweet mod, and may also be very expensive with installation, great excuse to upgrade to an RCF.

The exploded parts appear to be nearly identical, though test fitment would be required to confirm. As for the active or manually deployed spoiler, it is sure to require more than displayed in the reference pic (electric, wiring, button).

Pretty sure it will fit, however, I'm not sure everything that you will need to make it function correctly. Your best bet for the most cost effective solution would be to find a used one or an RCF that's being parted out or totaled. Let us know if you end up doing it!

Thanks guys! Great feedback, appreciate it! The price makes this very prohibitive to do from a dealer aspect, but yes -- if I can find an USB RC-F that's been destroyed, I'm game 110%

Might just have to be the OEM RC 350 wing for now....

I just feel like there should've been a few more bodily modifications that could've been better utilized on the F Sport trim of the RC 350. Mainly more design cues up front by the surrounding grill (More vents) to make it look more muscled up and along the rear with at least a small spoiler like mentioned. Also, better LED technology for the front and rear turn signal indicators, power folding side view mirrors, parking brake hold and release button, etc...small things that would've made an overall better difference between the Base and F-Sport trim lines.
