Got a great deal on a nicely optioned 15' RC-350 F-Sport with 21k miles on it last week! I have been keeping my eye on the Lexus coupes for a long time now and have been saving the pennies until I could justify a non-family friendly ride just for me. Free and Clear, the only way to fly!
Variable Steering, Radar Cruise w/ Pre-Collision, Park Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Mark Levinson/Nav, Moonroof, Fog lights, Mats.
Was told it had the a Adaptive Variable suspension but don't see that on the standard or accessories list for my car on Techinfo... a little dissapointed if it doesn't actually have it but it still handles and drives great now that I lowered the tire pressure 10-12lbs to where it is supposed to be. Haven't had time to compare the Eco to Sport+ mode again in terms of suspension after I lowered the tire pressure.

*EDIT
Just found the brochure, the AVS is included in the F-Sport. Also realized this thing has EVERYTHING Luxury Package and all options available WIN!


Not the best pic with the dealer's i-phone.

15' RC-350 F-Sport 21k Miles! Steal!

New to Lexus and to this forum. Handed my son the keys to my 2009 Honda Civic so he could drive it to Texas State Tech College in the Fall after I found something for ME to rekindle the driving passion. Got a screaming deal on a 2016 RC 350 F Sport with 18K miles and in mint shape off lease. I buy and keep so I expect to have this for a long time. Options include Mark Levinson sound, fog lights, spoiler, sun roof (not really "optional" from what I've seen they all have this "option"). The F Sport package pretty much has everything else included as far as I could see (Blind Spot monitor of huge importance given limited viz to right and left rear, adaptive suspension is sweet, plus much more). I specifically didn't want the variable steering ratio with rear wheel steering after reading reviews. Only thing that could've made this better was finding the same deal on an Atomic Silver. But hell, I don't see what color it is when I'm driving it.

New to this forum. This would be my 3rd Lexus. But first lexus coupe.

2016 RC 350 AWD F Sport
White/Red
Full options.
Had only 14,000km on it. Manager's demo
After reading on this forum on what should be done, I had done the 3M protection on the hood,fenders and roof between windshield and Sunroof. Trying to find someone who can do the bumpers, but most of them refuse!!! Because of the curves.
Thinking of doing ceramic coating
Did a Tekada cold intake today as per one of the guys here posted. And the car responds and sounds so much better. Very noticeable. Response is quick enough to notice, it doesn't feel chocked anymore. And the sound is amazing. I'm shocked as to how much of a difference the sound it makes especially when I floor it.
Was going to get Staggered Rims, but its too late in the summer.. would get them for next spring.

Would like to either get an exhaust system or delete, but not sure what to get.

Will post pics later.

Default my new RC

Hi everyone, I just picked up my 2018 RC350 a couple weeks ago. I had to drive it back home from San Diego, but it was totally worth it. Ultra White/Rioja Red, F sport and all the goodies. Looking forward to talking and bouncing some mod ideas off of you all!

Default 2015 RC 350 FSport


Purchased a 2015 RC 350 Fsport AWD Atomic Silver with Black interior in June of this year. So far my only mod has been buying winter mats for the coming cold and for the future I would like to:
  • Mild Window Tint
  • Slightly lower front wheel gap (but I'm AWD, so not sure of how that will go)
  • Get a custom, aggressive looking hood with air intakes (for show rather than purpose)...this is probably my number one mod that will set me apart. The hood is too bland and I love hoods with agressive slits in them, but so far I can only find ones that fit the RCF
  • Small rear spoiler
  • Maybe powder coat wheels gloss black
  • Maybe Satin Matte Black wrap eventually, but atomic silver looks great when actually clean.
if you have any suggestions for my future mods, please please please let me know!
