New owner here!
Just drove it home today sorry no pics yet, ultra white RCF, really used with only 6K miles on her.
I plan on PPE headers, MUSA-MEISTERCHAFT exhaust & Lexon front spoiler with really nice
Infinetewirks wheels in the coming months. I'm in Jacksonville Fl. if there are any group get togethers in the area, question for those that have had headers installed, was it relatively routine or did the engine need to be lifted/removed for the install? thanks to all that respond.

Welcome to the family. Post up some pictures of the new toy. Also zydan a member here might still have the gt haus exhaust off his RCF still for sale. Try to get in touch with him. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/1ge...haus-rc-f.html

I've bought all our Lexus's at Brumos. They do a good job. They delivered my RCF to me about 4 hours away. I get over there to that area every few months to meet up with some Russian clients, maybe we could all meet up for some grub. Think I'm headed that way middle of May for 3 days. I was going to go with the SIKKY headers due to the higher HP gains over the PPE's...then I rode in another RCF with headers on it....the gas smell was killing it for me.

Thanks guys for the information, the engine needs to be lifted? is that a major deal? will this breach the factory warranty? Anybody with headers can advise does the headers give off a gas/exhaust smell in the cab also does the application of the headers make a really higher pitch inside the cab. I bought the car in Orlando hope to start most of the modding by June will take the car to "Stage 6" performance in Jacksonville, going with the SS2 Infinitewirks 19X9 & 19X10 wheels, the Lexon front spoiler states could take up to 8-12 weeks for delivery from Japan. Any other H.P. gains you guys are doing to this car can advise of thanks.

You're going to smell gas with headers for the RCF with the windows down and your either at a red light or in heavy traffic. You'll also throw a CEL (check engine light) every 50-200 miles....I passed until they can get the O2 sensors right. It's going to sound like a beast with just the exhaust. Just trying to save you the hassle

I wonder if the gas smell comes from all the "vents" to keep the engine cool. Especially the hood scoop where the hot engine bay heat comes out on top and goes over the windshiel?

Congrats. I got an ultra white F on Halloween last year also at a majob SiCal Lexus dealer. It had like 2xxx miles on it. I shipped it to MS where I fly in to work. Cruising around in the MS area, I have only seen one other RC-F, my friend's USB RC-F. Definitely rare in MS. People drive up to my car to get a good look and then gives the thumb up and back off and continue to follow me.
The LEO friends I work with all wanted to race me in their Charger cruisers. I joked with them to make sure they do not make any sudden turns, especially in the twisties. Chargers do not do well in turns at high speeds.
Enjoy the RC-F.
