Some pics show the old 4" flow master quad tips I had but I removed them for the staggered burnt tip and it looks a lot better without sticking out.

So far I have done the following:

3M Color Stable 20% tint
White LED bulbs for the vanity mirrors, door courtesy lights, trunk and foot wells.
Lowered on Tanabe Springs
Muffler delete custom Axle back with burnt tips - (Favorite mod)
All Fit Lip Mid Lip Kit
Red Dipped Wheels
LED rear bumper reflectors
20mm Wheel Spacers

Coming soon:
Roof and trim wrap, RcF hood, Radio Bypass


Thanks for looking!
Wasn't even aware they had the RCF hood for the 350. Where did you pick it up from?

Thank you! Moderate drop Because I didn't want to lose any comfort...and I didn't. This lip makes it low enough and protects all around. Been in a blizzard already and it isn't peeling at all. I recommend it!

just added you on instagram. Usually post some events on my page there but mostly get invited by people in facebook! I don't think there is any lexus clubs really around the area. would be nice to start a RC owners club in the east coast.

Thank you! And yes I used some plastidip and glossifier....about 5 coats of each. Figured it would keep them clean for the winter snow/ salt but decided I liked how it looked so kept it. Getting compliments on them all the time.

Thank you for letting me know...I wont be considering that now but damn...i wanted that hood scoop. heres some more pics of the lip kit. It fit great because I followed the instructions to the T. You have clean with degreaser and the make v cuts where there are angles. Finally use an adhesive promoter before attaching the 3m tape supplied. I did not use the screws and have been in a blizzard already shoveling through snow and this is on firm.

Hope that helps!
