I recently traveled from New Orleans to Houston to pick up this beauty. I previously had a 2014 IS250 F Sport, same color, but when I saw the RC I knew I had to get one.
Surprisingly I never saw the RC before I got my IS because had I known about it I would have never gotten the IS. So far, I’m really enjoying the car. I’ve only done a few small mods to it and I’m not if I will do more because I’m not really that “mod savvy”. I’ve done the following:
o 20% Tint all around
o Tinted the taillights
o Muffler delete (still getting use to the sound but I love it)
o Replaced the interior door lights with the Lexus logo lights.
I want my Calipers done, but I’m not sure of the color I want to go with; any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, the car is infrared not sure if the pictures do it any real justice
I pondered the color for my calipers when I wanted them powder coated, and settled on the gold. Yellow is not bad with the red car, but looks a little too Ferrari for my taste. Two more related things: (1) the red Lexus logo is just a decal I got from some seller on eBay - I applied it in about 10 seconds two years ago and they still are there and look fine (the rear calipers are too small for a logo); (2) since the powder coater has to take everything apart, he will replace the brake pads at no extra charge - take this opportunity to get some good ceramic pads. They stop better and don't generate dust, which keeps the wheels from turning black. Highly recommended. (My guy suggested Akibono, which are readily available wherever fine brake pads are sold.) Finally, I just ordered the projector door lights - thanks for that link.
PS: the red Lexus logo valve stem caps are just the cherry on this sundae.
