Thanks. Your car is beautiful. I have been debating the NIA kit vs TRD. I have an NIA trunk spoiler, just haven’t pulled trigger on front and sides yet. Your car may have swayed my decision to go the NIA route. Are you AWD , if so looks like you are also lowered? If so what suspension did you install?

Thanks! I am lowered on RSR coils (I think they were called “Active I” or something like that… got these because the springs are much much softer then what I usually run. Atm the car is my daily so I raised up about an inch of gap.
I didn’t want to be super uncomfortable since I drive about an hour and a half to work every day. I have the RCF rocket bunny wing, NIA Front lip and side skirts, takeda CAI, Vors TR4 Hyperblack wheels(cheap wheels but they look nice until I get the rocket bunny kit in a few years and need different offset), Apexi Catback (on the way).

The wheels are dirty (typically shiny hyperblack) in this pic literally about to clean the whip after this posts

I was going to ask you about the hood. I like it. I am very much into aesthetics and personalization. That RB wide body kit is a hell of a commitment.
After spending significant amounts of $ on my C5 and 540i I am trying to apply some restraint this time around. You never recoup those investments but if you are keeping the car long term I say go for it.
My ultimate goal is to get into a LC in a couple of years.
I too daily my RC 350. Love the ride. My commute is 80 miles round trip which I do 2-3 times a week.
The ride height does irk me. Especially the front wheel gap. I am considering lowering springs but
don't want to diminish the ride quality. I may talk to the guys at RR racing for suspension since they are pretty close to me. I would be happy with a mild drop just to close the gap. Looked into Fsport springs but Lexus does not sell an “AWD” version. Although I have read that the RWD version does work.
Please keep us posted on your build.

Need to decide on wheels while I wait for the catback to arrive.
I'll get you a deal on the Apexi catback.
