Default Pulled the trigger - My new Nebula Gray RC F!

Hey guys,

Been following this forum for awhile. My first new car purchase. I started out looking at the IS350, then RC350, then saw the RC F and couldn't look back. The other cars just wouldn't do!



Nebula Gray with Red Cabernet interior

Thanks! Love everything so far! Just don't have enough runway! When the engine sings, I got to slow down or I'd be way over the limit!

Get used to that feeling of having to slow down. However, I love to hear the roar as well. I especially love the down shifts into a corner when the revs stay way up.

Wow, awesome! I almost went with nebula grey on red, too. But in the end I stuck with black on red. Congrats and I cannot wait to pick mine up.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I got her in Lexus Valencia, but I'm from San Diego. It was $63k, $11,400 off MSRP. At that price I couldn't say no and had to make the drive. Put a nice 150 miles driving her back! Getting xpel front end wrap next week.

I saw the black too and considered it, but I had a black car prior. It's like fire when it's super clean, but then the marring and upkeep takes a lot of time. I was thinking USM blue, but when I saw this combo I was sold. For some reason the Nebula gray looks better here than the RC 350, which I had originally considered.

Ha ha yeah. Never owned anything with so much power. It's amazing, especially coming from a 04 TSX

How much are the xpel front end wrap costing these days?
