Default RC F by Raykwon02

Hello All,

Looks like there are some great builds out there! Figured I would start one up too!


Triplets separated at birth(mine is in the middle).


First meet.


First Mod.


Gloss black window trim(wrap).


Exhaust:




Fitment is great, still have to take better pics of the exhaust installed.


Power Suction kit.


RSR 'Down' Springs. Still on the fence about installing, but will decide once the wheels are on the car.


Weds Sport SA15R (Staggered 19x9.5 +35 & 19x10.5 +35).


Color is Gloss Bronze Clear. Waiting on rear tires to be delivered, should be installed this weekend.

Looks great! What size tires will you be running for the fronts and rears?

Thanks!

They will be 265/35 up front and 295/30 rears.

EDIT: The final tire width up front was 255/35. I decided to go with the 255 because the shop mounted the tire and it squared up nicely to the 9.5 inch wide wheel, there is no exposed wheel edge which is why I wanted to go with 265 originally, but the 255 fit perfectly.

The rubber has arrived. To give some perspective, I'm 6'2" and can palm a basketball, this is alot of rubber. Props to the guys running wider tires, must look sick.

Looking good so far brother! I got a question on your wrapped window trim. I got mine's wrapped in flat black vinyl. I love the look (your gloss black too)! But with my wrap, in bright sun light, I can still see some "chrome" shining through the edges, especially on the top side of the trim, against the rubber. I can't stand it. I'm ready to pull it all off! lol... The guy that did my wrap is supposed to be "the best" on the island. How is yours looking? Can you see any of the chrome shining through on the edges? Thanks man!

BIG shoutout to the homies Z3NK1 and demik for their input on this setup. BIG shoutout to ClubLexus for giving us the platform to share info from Miami to Canada to Cali and anywhere else fellow F'ers reside.

Rear shot of the car to show it sits extremely flush. All four corners look great now and the car looks much more aggressive. I'm very pleased with the specs.

Hey bud, completely missed your question last week, sorry. I can't see any chrome shining through the edges on mine, but there are 2 spots(about 1-2 inches in length) where the wrap has started to come off at the very edge and it looks crinkled. Kind of annoying, but my 'wrap guy' gave me 2 year warranty so I'll just have to take it back in when I have time.

Thanks! Still haven't decided if I want to lower it, I think it looks really good at the stock height.
