Default If you were going to wrap or repaint your RCF...

what color would you choose?

I'm saving my answer for the upcoming reveal post to follow...but I'm curious what colors Lexus doesn't make that you'd like to see the RCF in.

As crazy as this sounds, I would not have bought this car if it didn't have the USB. No other color did it for me. The USB was the deal breaker. All the other colors for me didn't pop enough and they didn't do the car justice in my opinion.

It's funny, when I bought mine it was also largely because of USB. I have always loved blue cars, notably WRB (I've owned two STI's, one of them was a blue '07), but the USB really caught my eye. When I finally found myself in the market, I narrowed it down to three...a black one in WI, a white one in TX, or a USB in MN. I knew I had to have the blue, so eventually when I finally wore the sales guy down I got on a plane and flew to Minnesota.

Unfortunately, one of the previous owners (it had two) or possibly the dealership had royally jacked up the paint so I negotiated another $1700 off the price, and ended up driving the car home thinking I could just do some paint correction and be good. Shortly after I returned home and cleaned the car, I realized that the paint was so bad that in order for me to be happy with this car, I had to choose between a respray and a wrap. Due to the complexity of matching USB and the cost/time/hassle of a full respray, I ended up getting mine wrapped. I finished the coating on it today (GTechniq Halo), it just needs some reassembly and the wheels to be put back on. It's almost done and I am excited to share it here soon...I've never seen an RCF in the color I ended up choosing.

Ultra Blue like the Audi color or something else?

This one is close to a Nardo Gray:

For clarification, the grey one isn't mine...someone else had posted it on these forums a while ago.

Already wrapped twice and numero 3 coming up in May.
I'm pretty sure I was (and will be) the first and only RCF with the colors, all 3 times, in the world.

-KPMF Red/Black Iridescent
-Avery Brushed Black Metallic

After this one though I'll probably paint.

I think it would be interesting to see a darker metallic green on the same spectrum as USB

Nalley Lexus, in Smyrna GA, had that green one for 1 day on the floor... either the manager said remove it or it sold in one day (or was a deliver and was already sold).

My brother's Charger Daytona is in Destroyer Grey, great color, I almost bought my Audi in Nardo Gray but opted for different color.

Justin,
I don't think you should paint, personally, you've already changed your color 3 times (stock / wrap / wrap) so if you paint you'll probably just change it again in 18 months haha.

Any pics you can attach onto this thread? Or a link to your build thread? Would love to see how these colors look...

on another note, I'm picking my car up later today and so I'll finally be posting some pics of mine.
