Ive seen a couple people do it, and it actually looks really good. Only problem is finding one.

Next time it goes in im going to have the dents PDR'd, the one on the roof removed paint unfortunately, but I touched it up. Paint Matched my lip kit. Also installed the 10.25" Android head unit, and after some new software updates, Im proud to say I don't have any issues with it. Next big purchase is going to be the RRRacing Supercharger. After that, the LSD that RR sells, and after that, a cage from Studio RSR, and some sparco seats, as well as strip the interior!

What head unit did you get? I bought the one from 4x4shop.ca and it didn't fit, backup camera didn't work, etc...... (The customer service was unbelievably poor as well. They didn't respond to basically any of my emails.)

i bought my headunit from Iric Tan on Facebook. She’s been so helpful. Resolving any problems i had within the hour and everything. Currently it works perfect so.

Love your build! I’m thinking of doing the same CF steering wheel mod (been communicating with Elvin Wong for mine). Do the heating elements in your new steering wheel still work well?

Also, sorry to hear about your troubles with the install! I hear the clockspring can be really tricky to maneuver around.

I learned this the hard way. destroyed my clockspring and steering wheel sensor. 1500$ later at lexus and im back on the road.... But hey, check out this sexy wheel by @DCTMS ! Going to be picking up some LFA inspired paddles and CF Y piece for it soon...

Beyond that, the car is done! Really the only thing I have left that I want to do is the RRRacing Supercharger!

This whole build thread is quite awesome. Having a 2015 Base RC350 myself, there's so much here with your setup that has me inspired to consider in my upgrades.

yikes, havent been on here in a minute. couple updates.

Installed some momo halo seats, traded em for some sparco Evos. 4 Point roll cage from Studio RSR is on its way.

RR AOS is on order.

full aim gain carbon fiber lip and side skirts kit

supercharger is in the works, had a potential lead on a turbo kit being produced for the car, not really sure what's going to happen. More than likely will go with RR's proven kit.

ARP extended studs installed as well.

Its time to track!

How long did it take to do your taillights? I dropped mine off 2 weeks ago, hoping they're done soon.

Waited like 3 months to drop them off lol. Luckily it's not my daily otherwise I'd be a little anxious right now.

All of my stuff got done in like a week, but i was his first, and was sponsored. Been waiting Almsot a year now for warranty work on my DRL’s. Still waiting to ship em.

What happened to your DRL's?

Yeah when I contacted him there was a waitlist, luckily I'm local. Hoping to get them back soon as I'd like to drive my car again.

i have a bad LED strip. They released an updated part and I don’t have it. Half of a drl doesn’t work and spazzes out all the time. Bring warranty work I’m at the bottom of the list. Im at the point to send it to someone else to get fixed.

it won’t. His taillights are solid because they’re his work. The DRL’s are made using LED boards from some company from my understanding, obviously to fit the weird shape, so the boards had to be outsourced.

you’ll be solid. He’s a good dude

Well the day has finally come. I have officially ordered the RRRacing supercharger kit for the car. Also ordered a factory torsen differential to assist in putting the newly added power to the ground. Cage is still on the way. Everything is coming together finally. I still want to get a seibon hood, and maybe do some active wing in the rear, we'll see. I just blew a hole in my pocket so ill probably give it a break for a while.

I was supposed to pick up my taillights tomorrow but one of the LEDs went bad when they were on for a few hours of testing.

So now I should be able to pick them up Friday I hope!

Did you keep your orange turn signal bulb in? I've been watching a few videos of the chasing lights in action on the street. I think the orange turn signal overpowers the LED lights so I am thinking of removing the taillight bulb

youll get hyperbkink if you do, and then the sequential won’t work right.
