Default Paul's RCF build

Alright guys so I purchased my F back on October the 2nd 2016 and absolutely love the car!
Slowly i will be modifying the car.
But figured since the car has a few mods cosmetically that i would start this thread now.
Coming soon will be an aero kit within the next week or so though
I am new to this btw but I've been getting a lot of help from of a few of you and really appreciate it

Heres two days after i got the car.
Sadly didn't take pictures of the car the day of purchase





5% tint on all the windows

Got the car covered in Xpel stealth paint protection film.
So the car is more of satin white now.
Blacked out the lexus and RC emblems. The window chrome was blacked out as well





Then decided to tint the taillights and the lights are completely visible even with the film on the tail lights.



Will post more soon.

Satin wrap is the way to go.

Wish I had done that before the clear PPF.
