one thing?

I would lower the seat another 1-2" so I don't crack my head on the ceiling every time I hit a slab of crap road.

more than one thing:

1. better HVAC controls that are easier to reach, being tall I have the seat all the way back and down and I have to lean forward to touch the controls. I've taken to using the trackpad for HVAC but in reality it is safer to just be able to slide or turn a **** and not have to take your eyes off the road.

2. make the buttons on the lower left easier to reach as well.

3. a telescoping steering wheel with about another 2 inches of reach.. the wheel doesn't stretch far enough for those of us that have the seat in the full back positon because of our long legs.

4. a remote start that doesn't turn off when you open a door.

5. HUD

This. All day long. I can live without it, but I would certainly like it if I didn't have to live without it.

If I was limited to only one thing?

More low-end torque.

For me is, I would like it if the hood was more at a slant (sleeker).

It's what appeals to me a lot actually Love the muscular bulge which clearly distinguishes it from the regular RC models, but I can see where its "thickness" over the wheel wells may look somewhat unappealing especially comparing it the ultra low profile LC.

Same here, but easily fixable with springs or coilovers.

Going back to my earlier comment on wishing for greater low-end torque. Well, after I got pulled over this morning for speeding, I came to the realization I have more than enough power in this car Luckily, the cop let me go with a warning.

Maybe the cop just wanted to check out the ride?

When I was getting my car tinted an off-duty State Trooper came into the shop and was drooling over my car. I think his exact words were, "That's a f'n sick **** Lexus!" I remember thinking, "I hope this doesn't mean I'll be getting pulled over just so they can look at my car."

That is one area that kind of annoys me about the RCF looks. The hood is too bubbly or tall at certain angles and particularly when parked next to my 911 or another lower slung sports car.
