First post to CL, but not my first F. Traded in 2008 USB IS-F for gray RC-F with the carbon fiber TVD track package/the works. First perf package in CA! Bought it the day after it arrived at the dealer. The car never even had a test drive before we drove off the lot with 7 miles on the odo.
Work firewall is blocking pics, but trust me it looks sick, and even better in person.

They are all goregous cars! I love the head lights, spoiler and front fascia. Just took delivery on the RC F-Sport this past weekend and falling for the car since. Wish I could switch the headlights now lol.
Congrats all on an excellent choice!

I liked my Infrared RC-F so much that I surprised my wife with a Nebula Gray RC-350 to replace the LS-460 she had been driving for almost eight years.
She has never had a "sporty" car of her own. She absolutely loves the RC-350.
She has never been pulled over for speeding but less 24 hours after picking up her RC she was stopped for going 45 in a 30 mph zone. She explained to the policemen that she had had her RC less than 24 hours so he let her off with a warning.
Previously she had never driven a car over 80 mph. She has now developed a passion for acceleration.
I think I'm going to get a Valentine-1 Radar Locator for her now.

My vehicles:
RC-F Infrared
RC-350 Nebula Gray
2008 LS-460 Traded in for the RC-350
2009 Porsche Carrera 4S was rearended during rush hour. Very minor damage but the one place you don't want to hit a Porsche is the rear end. $6,500 body damage, $30,000 engine and transmission damage. Insurance declared it a total loss. Now I drive an Infrared RC-F!

Finally...
I ordered the car in September, and we all know how long it took Lexus to get around to producing the carbon fiber for the TVDs. I picked it up last week and have 150 "joy ride" miles on it.
The car is powerful and planted, shifts very quickly with agility, accelerates and corners like its on rails, and instills confidence. It's not been above 5,500 rpm yet, and 700-800 miles/7,000+ rpm will not come soon enough!
Two 2011 M3 drivers went out of their way to stop at a red light (after we played a bit on the curves). They gave me thumbs up, and told me they loved the car.
This new F is an impressive machine with lots to explore and master--probably at any level.
What's in it? I picked up everything except the lit door sills and the lane departure alert options. The ML system is a surprising, noticeable improvement over the ML I had in the 2012 ISF.
I love the paint job.

2015 RC F Carbon Fiber Package Arrives in Houston!
Finally arrived on my dealer's lot! Happy to get pictures from my dealer that my RC F that I ordered way back in September is ready for delivery, well, just about. A few layers of exterior protection need to be removed and it looks like the wheel locks need to be installed. But overall I am excited to know that I'll finally be able to drive this home tomorrow.
Attached is the build sheet with the packages and options ordered. It took some time because of the carbon fiber package according to my dealer.
Unfortunately, my 2010 IS F was totaled in a collision last September. Fortunately no one was hurt, which is a testament to being in the IS F completely stopped when a Chevy Tahoe hit me from behind doing about 60 mph. While the IS F 4 doors turned into 2 doors and my rear window was completely gone, I was able to open the front door and get out of the car without a bump or a scratch! While I hope nothing like that ever happens again I am glad I was protected by the IS F.
I bought a 2015 RX 350 with the insurance proceeds!
Now I'll have to make sure I can get the RC F next to the RX 350 in my garage. The RX 350 may end up in the driveway!
More photos to follow after I get this home and detailed.
