Default Present and Future Modification List

Hey Guys,

Thought it would be a good idea to post up a list of mods that I have completed and will complete in the near future. Please feel free to add your list so myself and other members can get ideas of what's available out there. My list is fairly light at the moment but I just recently got my car. Here we go:

Present Mods:

1. LED Reverse lights
2. LED interior lighting: Door, foot well, trunk, visor
3. Elvin CF steering wheel
4. Black license plate frames (front and back).
5. Vanity Plate

Future Mods:

1. Spacers (currently bought, will install very shortly)
2. CF shift ****
3. Lexus tire valve nozzles
4. Resonator delete
5. Lexus logo puddle lights
6. CF Diffuser (still deciding which one)
7. 2020 rear Lexus emblem.
8. Low dust pads
9. Chrome brake light bulbs

My RCF spec is pretty close to being perfect stock, in my eyes. Exhaust was my biggest complaint, which is no longer an issue with a phenomenal exhaust system. Now, driving at slow speeds even in traffic is a lot more fun as the noise echoes off walls/curbs/other cars. I have more power now than I really need. Tires are my next biggest complaint due to lack of rigidity on the stock Michelins. Not a whole lot I want to do.

Present mods:

Eibach spacers (20 mm)
Invidia full catback exhaust

Future mods:

RR Racing ultimate steering response lower control arms
'20 RCF-Spec XL-rated MPS4S
Front lip spoiler
Throttle controller
Resonators removed on the Invidia catback (potentially in the future, if I need more sound)
RR race tune (potentially, if it is safe)

Yes, that is correct. No issues or rubbing. Sits flush with the fender. Just have to be careful on narrow roads.

Current Mods.

Tanabe Medallion axle back touring exhaust.
Optima Battery.
Sikky Intake Tube.
AFE dry air filter
RR Racing air box heat shield.
RR racing F front badge.
Michelin PS4S Tires. This was a good mod that I could feel.

Future Mods but in no hurry.

New Rims. 19 inch as close to stock as possible in terms of size and offset. Not in love with the factory style.
Lighter Brake calipers and new pads. Once my brakes need replacing. Probably do this at same time as rims.
Possibly a different exhaust, but I am happy with my set up. Would like a Titanium axle back.

I could see doing lighter rotors, but how do you plan to accomplish the lighter caliper route, and why?

I meant rotors. My mistake. I would keep the Calipers.

Instead of it being chrome and you can see the paint colour of your car, it’s all black and shiny like the front emblem.

I went with the one for IS350. The hub bore size is identical on the RCF of 60.1. It is an improvement in every way. I did it mostly to make the car use less sidewall since our MPSS have very soft sidewalls. It definitely did make a difference at slow speeds. Longer term is to get more aggressive tires since I don't care much for ride comfort as it is not my daily driver.
