Default TRANCE's RC-F Build [Australia]

Hey Guys,

Firstly; as way of introduction, my name is Alex and I live in Perth, Western Australia. I bought my 2015 Lexus RC-F in June this year and am totally smitten with it. The car came with a JoeZ exhaust, intake, filter, and Tom's spoiler lip. My previous cars have included 350Z, Golf R, Focus RS, M3, Lotus Exige S to name a few, plus a bunch of misc. bikes. Secondly; a big shout out to this forum and all it's members - it's an amazing community and has been super helpful for me so far (just wish we had more of an RC-F presence here down under).

With that being said, I thought it timely to fire up my own build thread as there have been a few little updates to my 2015 RC-F. As well as the usual pictures, most of my updates are captured as part of my YouTube channel so I'll throw a couple of links up to different videos that show mods done to date. The rest of the channel covers local car meets, cruises, etc so feel free to browse Enjoy!

Starting off OEM (sort of)...

Lowering the RC-F on Swift Spec-R springs + SPC rear upper adjustable camber arms

New Wheels! BC Forged HCS04S install + Rowen CF rear bumper blades

Current state - and this is how it's sitting at the moment...




More to come - stay tuned!

Teeny tiny update on the F. After the Christmas postal rush, the vinyl overlays I ordered from Blue Bat finally arrived so it was time to do a DIY. Having never applied any vinyl I was hesitant, but Andrew's products are top notch, cut to the right size, and came with descent instructions. I was pretty proud of the final product. I also took the opportunity to pop my Plasti Dip cherry and blacked out the rear emblems. Results were 'ok' but I think eventually I'll redo these in vinyl also.

So big shoutout to Andrew @bluebatoverlays for not only a great product that is well priced, but for also responding to my questions online. As always, the process was documented on my channel.

After 12 months of ownership I thought I'd do the obligatory 5 Loves and Hates on the RC-F.
