I used to work next to an aftermarket parts shop that occasionally had F's on their dyno, so would see them from time to time. Does that count?

The RC-F is definitely a bit further on the exclusive spectrum when compared to the M3/4 in my parts of SoCal.

Default I've seen quite a few

I'm near OC and I've seen quite a few. Pretty sure I've seen the same one multiple times in Huntington Beach. There's a liquor store owner near my house that parks his white F in the lot everyday. Every time I see an RC F it's like seeing a beautiful woman. Makes me do a double take.

I see (literally) more Ferraris, Lambos, R8's and GTR's where I live. M3/4s are spotted daily. I'm also right down the street from the highest volume Lexus dealership in Colorado.

There are just not a lot of RC-Fs on the road, which is one of the reasons I truly love owning it.

I've seen 2 in the 9 months and 12k miles since I've owned it. One of them was a USB only blocks from my house.
In comparison, dozens of M4's and RC350's.

I didn't realize the exclusivity when I bought it but now it's a nice bonus.

Same here, I've had mine about 1 1/2 years & still haven't seen ONE anywhere around here. People always ask me what kind of car it is cause they said they haven't seen one before! But, since I put my lil' Decal on the side they don't ask as much now

I don't see but like two other RCF in the past year where mu RCF is located in the midle of nowhere. One at the Lexus dealer and one my friends's. <br /><br />I've seen some RC350's. <br /><br />On the interstate I'm going at a pretty good clip in the middle of no where and I often see some newer Mustang or Camaro coming up real fast and then slow down beside me to check my car out. A lot if times I just blip my throttle and I see them far away in my rear view mirror trying to catch up. I then ease off the throttle and back down to usual cruising speed. Then they would catch up and wanted to go again. I usually just pretend ok, let GO. But I let them GO ON and I don't even bother.<br /><br />At gas stations, often people will ask what car it is. Some even wonder if I just put on the "L" emblems and call it a Lexus. LOL. RCF is very rare indeed. <br /><br /><br />

I had my Body Shop guy do them, he pretty much does anything & everything on all my cars cause around here there's not anybody that wants to touch a Porsche, Viper, etc... It's like they're Scared they're going to do something wrong & they act like they're 100k $$$ cars or something. He owns his own body shop & has been doing my other cars for years, he or his guys can pretty much do Anything & he's always gave me Great Prices & I've Always paid him a lil' Extra for everything he does. He actually installed my Apexi Controller too!

I live in Woodland Hills, CA. There are several RC F's and RC 350s in this area for some reason.

I'm in Cupertino, CA, Apple country. Have yet to see a RC F here, only RC's. I wonder if the next gen RC F, if there is one, will be a twin turbo V6. Saw the announcement yesterday for the 2018 LS500, twin turbo 3.5L V6, 415 HP. That's the next gen of the current LS460.
