The US spec Nav does not work in Europe. The European brand US Spec cars can accept a Euro Map disc to work overseas but the Japanese brands always make everyone complicated. We would have to change the full Nav Unit to a Euro Spec system. I used the Garmin App on one of my iPhones and this was perfect.
I did ask Lexus USA for some help obtaining the carbon hood because my car would have looked better for these amazing photos but that didn't go anywhere. When I took my Nissan GT-R overseas Nissan USA/Europe/Japan were all very very helpful throughout my trip. They rolled out the red carpet for me when my car returned home by inviting me to their headquarters and gave me a tour of their plants.
My RC-F world trip is not complete yet, there's a few more countries on another continent left. **HINT: it's not Europe**

Also, I would have told the Lexus Europe folks that you needed to have the OEM Carbon Fiber Hood installed while you were in town..!!!
You are representing the RCF well in Europe. I really enjoyed your photos. I just happened to return from Istanbul and Seoul myself. I love world travel.
A few questions if you'd be so kind to indulge me:
-Varis rear spoiler: How is the fitment? Any noises or odd issues?
-Were you able to get your alignment back to stock specs after installing the springs? Ride quality? Issues?
-What are the width/offsets of your wheels + tire sizes?
Istanbul is a nice city, except the ripoff Taxi drivers all over. One day I'll visit Korea as well.
The Varis kit fits 99% to an OEM part with zero issues after the 10k miles I drove. My ADV1 was bought from through Wheelsboutique in Miami. The sizes are 20x11 and 20x9 but I don't remember the offsets. The RSR springs rides almost like factory and the alignment spec'd out well. I drove through tight roads, cobblestone roads, and some bad roads in Hungary and everything held out well.
