No Surprise here... They did exactly what they are doing on the 2016 GS F
Did this RC F have the new optional Orange Brembo Calipers ?? w/ the New "F" Logo ...
If not, the standard color will be Black w/ the "F" Logo as seen above..

The RC-F I saw did not have the orange Brembo Calipers it was still the black one. Do not recall if it has the same "F" logo and didn't take any picture of the wheel area. I do recall reading somewhere that the Orange calipers were optional on the RC-F. The RC-F they had at the Tokyo Motor Show was a Premium option one with sunroof. The GS-F had the Orange Caliper though.
I was going to say I like them, but the better wording would be I dislike them less than the POS stock ones on my car. And since I don't plan to mess with an exhaust anymore, I'd like to replace them with those. May I ask if those tips are for the Japanese models only, or the US version will have them? Hopefully the latter, so I can buy them here. Or somebody upgrading the exhaust would give them to me. But the question is how hard is to remove them without damage? I looked at mine, and rather than having a set bolt, they're pressed in, with metal tabs biting into the muffler tubing. I'd say it's practically impossible to remove them without destroying them. But even destroying them seems like a hell of a job, without removing the exhaust, and cutting the damn things in half. If somebody has successfully removed the tips, please post tips on how to do it. He he. Thank you.

Rubber Mallet.... That is all....It's not that complicated
Great news. May I ask you if you need to remove the mufflers, or you can do that without removing anything??? Now all I need is for US 2016s to have those tips, and somebody getting an exhaust from you installed there. Thanks man; appreciate your help.

Chu...
From this bad angle you can see the Black Brembo caliper with New "F" Logo in Toyko
Personally I think "Lexus" looked way better..
Here is what "Lexus" it looked like on the 2014 Special Edition JDM IS F • DST

USA RC F will have these New Tips... I already posted the 2016 RC F "Product Information" thread..
Mufflers don't need to come off.. BUT it will be easier to whack off the car..

If you go on the lexus website and look up RC-F, you'll see there are pictures of the RC-F with the orange brake calipers.
But building the rc-f did not give me the option for orange calipers.
