I'm pretty sure they have an "Addendum Sticker" to the right of the main one...

I completely agree with you and I believe the car looks better without the spoiler.
I am guessing they are still building the site but right now I think all of the package options have the rear lip spoiler included if you put in a SoCal zip code (used Santa Monica for an example->

Probably because they are still building it but some other zip codes (like Nashville Lexus) show the other options like the Pre-Collision system and Variable Gear Ratio steering ->

Lexus configurations are always bundled in several packages. I'm just going to give my local dealer my custom order and wait as long as it takes to get it.

Default Rc350

Looked at 2 RC350's yesterday, you have to see these cars in person, they look twice as good as pictures. Saw a Nebgrey/Red F Sport and Atomic Silver/Playa I think. Red Interior is awesome to look at. RC 350 has slightly more interior room than my 3IS 350 F Sport in my opinion. These cars will be a hit for sure.

I'll need to go to the Lexus dealership during lunch tomorrow. Lexus did a great job on the rc350 f sport. I can only imagine they look so much nicer in person. If I would of waited for one it would have been a infrared/black interior f sport. Not having a manual was the deal breaker for me. None the less....its a great looking car!

Someone tell me I'm not alone when I say those rear bumper flare accents near the bottom look tacky. Yuck.

I like them. Seems intended to echo the F sport logo.

I agree with you. I don't like them. This is the type of non-functional design that ages very poorly. It will look more tacky with time I think.

19 MPG in city (and probably less with normal in town driving)... that may be a show stopper for me.

You're not alone, not a fan.

They're not my favorite part, but I could get over them. For me, bigger than the appearance of them, would be the hassle to clean around them, and have to mask them off while waxing/sealing so as to not get wax all over them. They would be better if they were painted the body color.

I am liking the RC F more and more, and that is the exact combo I would get.. I just wish they would have made it in AWD, that would have sealed the deal for me..Having a high HP RWD car now, I'm not sure if I would want to replace it with another RWD car.
