Smile My RC-350 F-Sport (APPLE GREEN)

Here is my new 2017 Lexus RC-350 F-Sport I picked up a while back. I got it repainted in a one off color (pearlescent Apple Green), as well as tinted 80 the headlights orange.

Has Greedy exhaust,

and some WedsSport SA-15R wheels with Stock OEM Potenza tires.


It has LEDs EVERYTHING on this car,

from interiors
(COB LED 1000 LM T10 bulbs)

TO

exterior
(taillight assembly with 3000 LM Reverse LED (T15), and 2500 LM Turn signal LED (T20)+Resistor)

Next will be some canards or winglets, and if I have enough funds, I will get a *wing* on my trunk.

Also heard the HKS Supercharger kit for the Lexus RC-350 is coming out Summer/Fall of 2017. And it can potentially add +50 to +80 BHP with the right exhaust and intake manifolds.
Not sure how much it will costs atm, but will be pricey fo' sure.

Where I live, I think there's a state law against putting a big **** on your trunk.

I am glad some members on this forum actually "like" my green Lexus RC.

I get lots of haterzz out there, such as at the gas station trying to fill up.....

Do all 2017 models come with triple beam headlights??...I'm kinda jelly I think it looks good so far and definitely different. Also what kind of front lip is that...looks like it just wraps around your fenders and around the wheels??

Here goes::

It started with an All-Fit Automotive Lip (1-inch)

Next, I fiber glassed only the UNDERSIDE of the lip while it is TAPED to the vehicle so I could get a hardened shape of the pieces with resin and fiberglass.

I proceeded with the primer paint sprayed on the FRONT SIDE of the lip

Then took the lip pieces to a shop and got it color matched (not exact, but quite close)

When all its said and done, the lip is then secured with some self-tapping screws and washers to the FRONT bumper, FENDERS and SIDE skirts..


And as for the Triple Beam LED headlights, it is not standard, but it was an add-on option for 2017 RC-350 models.. I think it was an $1500 option I believe....

Interesting...I have an allfit lip too but didn't paint it and its the mid lip...been on for over a year with just the double sided tape. +1 for someone else using this lip! First time I ever saw something like this with it all around the fender tho. I wish those headlights came with all models tho!

I like it! How do you like your GReddy exhaust? I'm getting ready to switch up my exhaust for my next modification, and I was thinking about going GReddy.
