Yes they would! I was about to pull the trigger on an Liquid Platinum Silver RCF last week and it would have rocked the same wheels. I love the silver and black combo.


Wheels are here, just waiting to install them with the Michelin PSS's!

Oh you got the M147s already, sweet. I cant wait to see other angles of your car since you have the RSRs as well. Getting black 19s have been on my mind for a while.

The MPSS tires feel great. I have ran these tires on almost every car over the past 4 years! Expensive but worth it.

Silver on black is my weakness. Yeah, I'll try to post more pictures up this week. In other news, I swapped out my front 255's to 245's. Absolutely NO rubbing now and the ride is perfect!

Do you think the RC F hood would fit on the RC 350 ?

I'm not sure man. It looks like it has the same shape and it would fit, however, I am not sure if it has the same attachments/latches.

I think the bumper has wider hips, which is why it is 0.2" wider. But I think the bumper itself will bolt up the same way. I'm going to pick it up from Lexus this week so I guess we'll see. Someone has to try it right? lol

Had an issue with shipping the RCF bumper so instead of ordering it through my local dealership I decided to buy a used RC350 bumper for the project. Here's a rough photoshop on what were going to do. Going to try to make it as clean and factory looking as possible.
