Pittsy's 2015 RC350 Build

Well, I'm back. About a month ago I was in a collision involving my '14 IS. Yesterday, I picked up my very own Nebula Gray Pearl 2015 RC350, with 30k miles!

It's a complete different animal. Its so much faster and sportier to me. I'm in love with it.

Oh man, I am so jealousss! But I should at least drive around my is for 2-3 years before I can start thinking of changing... happy for you!
How much did your insurance increase if you dont mind me asking.

Out of town for the next 10 days, as soon as i get back, it’s going to my local wrap shop yo have the chromes deleted, then off to my local exhaust shop to have 2.5” cutouts installed before the secondary cats!

It’s official. Talked to my service rep at my dealer and the fsport grill swap is definitely possible. Anyone selling a grill?

Also, I was told my card key was not programmable, via looking up the VIN. I have seen quite a few threads saying it can be done anyways, can anyone confirm? Should i push the dealer to do it or just buy my own cable?

Just got the dual exhaust cutouts ordered, will have arrived by the time I get back, then off to the exhaust shop! I’m holding off on the chrome delete while I figure out this fsport grille thing. I don’t wanna wrap the chromes for no reason if I have to change out the grille.

Are you adding fog lights? If not the chrome trim is it's own piece. Save the money and wrap yourself... ir is not hard. Plus you save the labor for more goodies

Nope, not adding fogs. Found the whole assembly including the chromes for about 800$

Then you could do your delete and use the old wrapped chrome trim on the new grill. I think the vinyl I bought cost $100 but I bought too much. The miscellaneous things you would need will cost another $30-40. The grill takes maybe 30 minutes the windows 30-40 each.

Not sure if anyone had noticed in the pictures, but I painted all my emblems, as well as painted my calipers black with G2 Paint, and added stickers.
