Default Zydan RC-F Build Thread - White w/Circuit Red

What's up everyone, had my eye on this car since last year. Got lucky enough to attend the Asphalt up Event in Florida with my boy Diego from over at Vossen in October and fell in love. Here I am almost 6 months later and finally purchased this beautiful machine.

I'm also a photographer, so you can expect quality photos in this thread when I update it.

I'm coming from a G37 that I took from stock to this.





And here's some photos from Asphalt Up that I took.









And last but not least of course, my new girl.









At Home where she belongs





I still have my VFS-1 so expect some updated pictures soon, and hope to move to Vossen Precision Series before to long along with some other mods that I have planned.

Stay tuned, and feel free to follow me on IG: Zydan000 for more pictures.

Also I started a group on Facebook for any of us that would like to join: Lexus RC-F Owners
It's public for now, so join, share and invite, lets start a good discussion about mods, parts and other great things. Happy to be a part of the Lexus family~ look forward to seeing what we all do!

Default 4D Carbon Fiber Vinyl roof and spoiler wrap

Thanks everyone! So I took the car yesterday to get the roof and spoiler wrapped with the new 4D carbon fiber vinyl over at my friends shop CB3 Customs.
While it was getting wrapped I used my gopro to make a time lapse video of the install.

Check it out and let me know what you think, and of course some High Quality pictures of the wrap completed as well.


And of course the pictures from the end of the video.

I would have gone with gloss black vinyl. The matte faux carbon looks out of place especially with the moonroof

+1. Only saying this because it can be easily redone, but that looks like a cloth top in the pictures. I would definitely pull that off and do it in gloss black. Car looks awesome otherwise.

I think you'd all like it better in person than in the pics. Plus I had gloss black on my G for almost three years and needed something different.
Here's a couple of iPhone pics.

Looking good Danny, I can say that the vinyl in pictures doesn't do it any justice. You can't appreciate the carbon in pictures. Definitely subbing to the thread, can't wait to see what's in store for the RC. Again congrats and enjoy her buddy.

The CF with the sunroof makes it look like your trying to make the car something it's not, like a GTR badge on a civic.

Anyone into cars is going to think it's off, they never have made a CF roof with a sunroof. I hope the RCF is not the new ricers dream.

It is just for looks, let's say an alternative to the common black gloss wrap. It's not intended to fool people into thinking it is real CF. A wrapped roof doesn't immediately make a car rice, it is a bit extremist to think that way.

But anyways, I would have gone with glossy CF finish instead.
