Default My new RC-F's on the road!

I took delivery of an Ultra White-on-Red RC-F from downtown Lexus on Monday this week. I'm very glad i did

Absolutely love the car.. just a few things to clear up to make it perfect...

Disclaimer: these issues may be related to my RC-F only.
- The brembo brakes in the front (or back) are making a squeaking noise during 0-2 KM/h...maybe the brakes need to be bedded.. i dunno, i am going to let this sit until i reach 1500 KM
- There is wind noise coming from the driver's side at around 100+KM/h ..dunno why (haven't had time to investigate rubber and stuff closely)

Going to get it CQuartz's on Friday - I'm not letting that sick paint job get messed up by weather conditions.

I didn't opt for the performance package, as this car [probably] isn't going to see any track time - its my daily too. I will get the carbon fiber trim from Sewell later, once its available - but even then, the aluminum fiber still looks really really nice!

omg, did i mention i love the car? Here she is:

Default Congrats..

Great looking car and great buy..
smart doing the CQuartz make sure they prep the car really good so that it can last..
Also ask if the have Beeds Ceramic Coating or Gyeon Quartz.. They are better with soft paints..!

Nice ride...congrats.

I will leave my current user name as it shows my roots in the F line. I do not doubt that after the RCF I will have yet another.

Congrats. Very nice.

Since you are located in Ontario, I am wondering if you are planning on driving it through the winter with winter tires on it?

Would you mind sharing the size you are getting? I assume, you are going with a square setup of 225s, perhaps? Blizzaks?

Thanks.
