Default Radical Coupe Project (Infrared)

So I just got my 2016 RC 350 F Sport a couple of weeks ago and so far, this is what I have done.

1. Window Tints (A must have!)
2. Painted Blue Calipers with F Sport Badge (Although I wish it was a lighter blue so it will pop out more) I was expecting that it would pop out more :/
3. Blacked Out Bumper Chrome Grill and Front Lip (I love this, I think it made the car look more aggressive)

So my next plan is to have the rear spoiler installed which is also this week. I also bought the Lexus LED Ghost Shadow Light from amazon, the plug and play ones for I am just planning to Do it Myself. I asked a shop on how much they would charge to install the ghost light and was told it would be $250!! LOL! Luckily, there's a lot of plug and play ones but very rare compatibility though for 2016 Lexus RC 350, so I'm crossing my fingers that it will be compatible.

Hope you guys like it By the way, I am not really planning to do some major upgrades right now, just small things that would make my car look really pretty. LOL!

You sure you don't want to do any major upgrades? Exhaust, body kits, suspension, wheels?!?!?!

Actually, I was lying, LOL! I am new to mods. Don't know much so I do need to research some more before I do anything drastic to it. LOL!

I do think that my RC needs a louder muffler / exhaust sound. But I like how the exhaust look, I don't want to change that, I just don't like how it sounds. It sounds like a kitten. LOL!

A front and side carbon fiber skirts would be nice too!

Got the trunk rear spoiler installed! It's beautiful! Makes the RC look more sporty. I do think that a rear spoiler should be STANDARD on all Lexus Coupes

Thanks! I am really considering it. I do think it would look really nice with the blacked out front grill.
