Hey everybody, Ive been lurking the Forums here and there Since I got the car in November 2019, and have been Slowly building it since, with alot of help and ideas from all of you on this Great (But strangely dead forum). This is my Journey with The RC 350 Platform so far. Starting with what I traded, what I picked up, and How she sits today. Thanks for looking.
Traded this, a 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. That I had put love work into, But cant change that FWD so she had to go. Miss those wheels though.
Traded in November of 2019. This came in as a trade at the dealership I work at. A MINT ( and I mean mint ) 2015 RC 350, with 9k miles, with Levinson, in My color, and every option. I was looking for an Fsport, but with these miles, and condition, It was the best decision. (plus I sold it to myself and I got a very good deal). Guy who traded it was a Rich New Yorker who left it in this Summer house garage here in Florida and so it only got driven 4 months out of the year. It was Written.
How she sits as of 4-9-21.
First few cosmetic mods. F-sport Grille swap, Forged Stance wheels 19" wheels SF07. In brushed Gunmetal. Wrapped in Toyo Proxes sport 235/40/R19 up front-265/35/R19 in rear. Also did some AG Carbon sideskirts, Tint, and Gloss black roof wrap. Oh and those HORRIBLE MGP caliper covers, DO not do this. It will not last and will end up cutting into your rotors FYI. They soon went.
OEM F badges, don't kill me. I like the look.
Interior Mods/Conversions.-------Went with a Custom Carbon wheel from Elvin. F-sport gauge cluster swap. ISF shift ****. 2019+ RC gauge cluster shroud ( so much Sleeker ) and Uniden R3 long range radar detector, hardwired into the rearview mirror ( a Must for me ). Oni charm I call the car Oni (japanese demon).
That's also the push button start trim ring of the newer body style. Which I though is a subtle touch to go along with the update to the Cluster shroud. Believe me, Its is a ***** to fit on but it does go, just be patient.
Trd Carbon Front Bumper trim installed, I wasn't sure about this but I didn't like the look of anything i was able to find over the course of a year of research, so I went with these for now. Love how they turned out, great fit and are Sturdy, not worried about hitting a parking stop.
Custom Carbon Rear spats ( again i could not find anything other than the NIA spats, which I didn't like, so I fabbed these up. Also got the Rear diffuses and the rear bumper "Fingers" Sprayed in Gloss black.
I like how they turned out. They really should have more options for this Beautiful Car, Its almost Criminal.
This is the Link to what i used to source material for the spats......I never liked the NIA style spats, and i searched for over a year at any other options. Some nice ones here and there on Instagram, but could never confirm what exactly what and where they from. So I Saw this on ebay. and figured i could use the outer upright canards and just reverse them and cut off excess material and fab up some custom spats. For the cheap price, i figured, if it doesn't work out then oh well.... They are carbon print, but its a good one, and very closely match my real Carbon skirts and front trim. Worked out nicely for me, just measure up carefully before install.
As for mounting, only use 3M tape to mock it up and then ALWAYS use bolts for the application. Its the right way to do it.

I love your build! I was wondering where you got the 2 piece lip and how it's holding up? Did you have to drill into the bumper or 3m tape?
