That thing is beautiful man!! I put that same Steering Wheel Piece on mine the other day. * The one ya shot with your Jammies still on !

I want every piece of Carbon made for this car, and as stated on another thread - Im totally baffled how there are very few companies which sell this stuff! Though its not the same, my Ducati was smothered in CF and there were TONS of companies making aftermarket stuff! No way am I paying such outrageous prices.

Went to this huge car show in Great Falls last Sat which was full of Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, etc etc etc. Even had a 2018 Bentley Sport Package there with sticker on it for only $355k too! If one doesn't get there before 6am, its walking room only. Cant recall the last time I was up that early on a Sat. lol.
I honestly did not see one other RCF in the whole place.

That ATEQ Machine is very interesting! After my wheels were mounted the Dealership could not get the TPMS to sync. At first the light was on, but now only the TP Gauge readout does not work. Been told a Rep will be fixing this for me soon though. (Not Dealership!)

So, the search continues.............
M&P are a great bunch and do good work

Yeah, I have been to a Cars and Coffee where I didn’t see any other RCFs...only two in my area that I see in passing...haha.

CF is addictive. Hard to have just enough without it looking too gaudy/overwhelming...I want more muself

Let me know if you want a rundown of the TPMS programmer and set tools. Very easy and worth it, IMHO.

We definitely need to meet up sometime so I can see your updates in person

Glad to see you’re messing with the car again Will. You been mia for a bit..

I’m not super sold on the red stripe. Wish I could see the red color all the way around all the time. At first glance I thought you only started doing the strip and it wasn’t all the way around.
Jmo. As long as you like it, forget what I or anyone else thinks.

Thanks! Yeah, I am very busy with life so try to get on when I can.

The red stripe definitely looks better in person, though...pics don’t do justice.

Have some new updates coming shortly. Stay tuned...

Hey Will,

not sure if you remember me but this Chris C., i used to be the service manager @ Pohanka Lexus and helped you regularly in getting your RCF and daily serviced. I have an RCF now and just seeing if you’re ever down for a cruise or meet up or something let me know. Btw, car looks awesome! That hood....drools

Will, sup man? Hope married life is good! House mods are all done for now so you can start modding car again?

Need some feed back on few things:

you ever put the windshield film on? If so, you like it? Any issues with bubbling or haziness or color? Is it easy to keep streak free? Any scratches from wipers?
My windshield got cracked recently. Getting a new one installed this Friday at lexus. Want to film it ASAP while it’s still pristine.

Second, your Tpms for winter tires. I’d like to use for my track rims. You said easy peasy. How much time does it take to program from one to the other?

Thanks bro

Hey one more question about that RR front badge.
Does your car have the radar cruise?
Does it effect that? Just curious.

Life is good but crazy and busy. Still modding house, modding family, and hopefully modding car more

I have clearplex installed on my windshield and love it...definitely helps protect and you cannot tell it is there unless you really look closely. Definitely recommend it. If you track your car, you will have to replace it more often, though.

I love the TPMS quickset and scan tool. Quickset tool only stores 1 set of winter and 1 set of summer...software on PC can store multiple TPMS profiles, though, but you would just have to reload the quikset tool each time if using more than the two sets. Still faster and cheaper than stealership

I do not have the radar cruise and I am not sure so you will have to ping RR Racing to verify if it affects it.

Good hearing from ya...hopefully, I will have some new mods installed and continue with acquiring new mods

It does not effect it by any means. That's why we went with carbon over aluminum

Still have a bunch of mods waiting to happen. Red pin stripe came off F50s and trying to decide on whether I should powdercoat them (full gloss black, full matt gunmetal, or full chrome) or just leave them as is.

So finally got my RRRacing USRS installed with new full alignment along with winter tires (OEM sized Blizzack LM-32s) installed on my stock 19” wheels.

Winter tires definitely have more noise but work great in this cold weather. Haven’t had a chance to fully test the USRS difference but think I can notice better steering response already Last front summer tires had bad inner wear so looking forward to the USRS helping reduce that
