Default Female 2017 RC-F owner

While reading thru some threads, I saw that many of you asked if there were any female RC-F owners. I'm one!

I picked her up last month and so far I've:
Had the chrome piece above the windows painted matte black.
Had the chrome Lexus and RC emblems in the rear painted in the same black chrome as the grill.
Had the exhaust tips also painted black chrome.

I've been contemplating whether or not to paint the calipers blue or to leave it orange. Thoughts?

Also picked up the Smart Card Key and I love it!

Unless it is bugging you or really want the blue, I would just leave the OEM orange which is pretty hot as is and really pops. Kind of a waste to paint them blue, IMHO. Maybe sell or trade for stock black if you decide to paint.

I would rather have red or white but still on fence whether to paint or not.

Whoa, I'm intrigued! What in the world is that smart card key?! I've never heard of it or seen it, what's the point of it?

It's great! It works like your key fob, except it has no buttons. I leave it in my purse and never have to carry keys around with me.

Hi! I agree. I've been hesitant because I really do like the orange. The service manager even suggested that if I paint the calipers blue, to also consider painting the.. err.. side vents??? (I have no idea what it's called, lol) blue as well. I attached a pic. 😁

Congratulations and welcome! I love what you've done with it thus far.

While I'm personally not a fan of orange for just about anything, I'm not sure I'd go through the trouble of painting the calipers. Maybe find a 2015-2016 owner willing to swap?
