Something like this should be an easy "swap out" right? Order online and have someone swap out, right?

 

Yup. Quite cheesy but don't give US corporate "market research" team credibility and making them look like they know what they are doing. They were the ones that initially said no to IS F-Sport seat cooling, lack of F-Sport package on GSh and so on, somehow it seems they just did the bad job packaging the product and not trying to save it for later to brag as an update.

 

Apparently they also nixed the F-Sport Plus package for the American market as well.

 

Found a way to get the triple LED head lights for your RC350 . Just order them from Lexus Parts- unit assy RH
is $2957.58 and is LH $2957.83 plus computer sub assy RH is $609.83 and computer sub assy LH is$609.83. Just $7134.82 and they can ship in 24-48 hours!!

 

LOL. $7k for headlamps. Sounds good if they give me $6k for the stock ones I'm pulling out.

 

OMG do you know how many pairs of shoes I can buy with that $7K !?!??!?!

If one were to spend that kind of $$ for a mod ........ might as well as get the actual RC-F nooo ???

 

Exactly.

$7000 gets you L-LEDs
$3000 gets you a V8

 

Great can wait to see them on the road !!

 

It has been an amazing experience having the RC350 at the dealership this week. More than just driving them around the neighborhood. Looking at them pass by. Looking at them parked in the showroom under lights. The quality of the interiors are spot-on. The easy entry and exit is just glorious. I have been waiting for a Lexus coupe since I sold my SC300.

I just wish Lexus had put at least 350 hp in these beauties....but you know what, they are actually pretty peppy. Although similar in weight, they feel a little quicker than the GS.

Lexus did a great job on this car. It's the first car since the SC300/400 that didn't have to grow on me. I like it right off. Which means I'll like it more as time passes.
I have to get to work on my credit.

 

guy on facebook posted that if you click on any model to build, then you replace RC in the URL you can build an RC350

I also was thinking this morning about the need for 350 hp. We have a GS350 so I know exactly how fast the RC is going to be, and for a sports coupe they could have upped the game over an engine that has now been around since Bush was in office (yeah, at least the second Bush). I have a 550 BMW that I will be replacing and if either a GS F-Sport or the RC had 350 hp my next car would be a no brainer. But I'm afraid I'm not going to be happy without more performance and the RCF seems a little over priced to me.

 

feel the same way here

 

The gs350 prices have gone down and I expect the same will happen with the rc350....in 2 years. But the current price seems appropriate to me. Remember, another coupe is still in the works. It will probably end up with the SC name. It's going to be higher priced and will be approaching LFA power and performance. Knowing that, the rc350 seems priced right to me.

 

My biggest frustration with the RC is that you can't have a fully loaded F-Sport in the U.S. Why can't I have all the options if I'm willing to pay for them? Also, ditching the 3L LED lights was stupid too. It was either I was going to buy a fun coupe or a fun suv. I don't want to get a new car that has missing options vs what I have now...ie Adaptive Radar, Rain Sensing wipers, etc. I'm probably just going to go buy a Cayenne.

 

Looks like the RC configurator is officially up now.
