What would it cost for something like that? (Replacing the stock rear RC350 bumper with a rear RCF bumper)

Wow, I love the color. Pretty sure my car is going to end up light blue at some point as well. Does anyone know what those small fin looking things are at the back of the rear wheel arches are? It almost looks like a tiny mud guard.

This is nice! How much did that cost you for the rcf rear conversion? Will the rear splat for fsport fits? Since i have the full nia kit already for my fsport

I have seen those little guards by the upper tire on most RC-F's so I am just assuming its part of their rear bumper. Not sure if they have any function though. Also it looks like the RC-F rear bumper could be a direct replacement for any other RC variant just like the one featured here so the total cost of this conversion may just be a combination of a new bumper and paint. The owner would have to confirm if they wanted to share that information.

I can confirm the NIA rear slats fit all the other RC variants. These are the pieces on the bottom of the bumper which are considered part of the aero lip kit. A pic below for reference of my RC350 with the same rear slats: (Excuse her being a bit dirty )

Thank you. I got confirmation it is a direct fitment for the bumper. I have a full nia lip kit. I have the same exact thing you have in my RC. Was just asking the one nia rear slat i have already. Nice car by the way!

Default car looks great!

the rear spats for the RC and RCF are diffuerent but as you can see from the blue one, the owner made the RC spats fit the RCF so its possible

That little part is put on the RCF wheel wells for DOT legality. There's a law somwhere saying that the stock wheels cant stick out past the fender/body so lexus put that on to avoid a redesign. Our RX350 has a similar piece.

Thats some awesome information, I'm glad it has a legal purpose at the very least. Do you or anyone else happen to know the part number for these little guys?
