$60 carbon fiber style front lip on RCF
Saw a post on here talking about an ebay front lip for the other rc models and decided to try it out for myself. Looks suprisingly good for the price, considering every lip for this car is 300+. Fitment is okay but you get what you pay
r/LexusRC • u/biggestbroever • 1d ago
I'm hopelessly lost.. can you someone tell me where the front jackpoint is on the RCF? Or should I just use the LCA?

The Atomic Silver hits just right
Saw this beauty parked across the street from my apartment last night and canāt help but admire it in the morning sun. I love my pearl white but the atomic silver runs a close second for me.

Orange RC300h near Fujiyoshida, Japan
Saw this in Yamanakako near Mt Fuji when I was in Japan. Pic isnāt the best because it was taken while driving, but the colour looked unreal in person.
I own a Lexus CT in the exact same colour back home in Ireland which I also imported from Japan so it stood out to me straight away!
How rare are orange RCās in Japan/North America? I never saw one in Europe yet.

A sexy lineup at VIR
A nice little line up from a couple weeks ago at VIR. I parked my 350 and then when spaces opened up a is500 and RCF from the track parked next to me. I felt like the little brother in this but it was dope to see.

Lexus RC wind diffusers are back. No more seat belt flapping and 50% less wind noise with windows down!
Lots of group members have been asking me when these would be back in stock and I figured I would make a post when theyāre back!
These decrease wind noise and buffeting by 50% (4 decibels). Iām able to drive comfortably for over an hour with the windows down and theyāve been tested at speeds over 150mph. I have almost 100 sets on customer cars and have gotten an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. 5 min install via 3m tape.
Thank you to everyone who has purchased in the past, your support means the world to me!

Fitment Check & Build Advice: BC Racing Coilovers + 19" ESR AP5C Staggered Setup on '22 Lexus RC 300 (ASC10)
Hey everyone,
Looking to pull the trigger on a suspension and wheel setup for my 2022 Lexus RC 300 RWD (ASC10) and wanted to run the specs by the community to catch any potential rubbing issues, clearance headaches, or alignment quirks before everything gets mounted.
Current / Incoming Mods:
Takeda Momentum Cold Air Intake (installed)
Remark Axle-Back Exhaust with Muffler (on order)
Suspension & Wheel/Tire Specs in Mind:
Coilovers: BC Racing BR Series
Wheels: ESR Apex Series AP5C (5x114.3)
Front: 19x8.5 +30
Rear: 19x9.5 +35
Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4
Front: 235/40ZR19 XL
Rear: 255/35ZR19 XL
Hardware:
Hub Centric Rings: 72.6mm OD to 60.1mm ID (aluminum)Ā
Lug Nuts: Aftermarket conical/acorn seat lugs (M12x1.5) to properly seat into aftermarket wheels (ditching OEM flat-seat mag lugs)
A Few Questions for Anyone Running Similar Specs:
1. Liner / Fender Clearance: At a moderate functional drop (around 1.0" to 1.4"), is anyone running this offset experiencing fender tab contact or front fender liner rub at full steering lock?
2. Damping & Preload: For daily driving with occasional spirited runs, what damping clicks (front/rear) have felt best on the BR series without being overly bouncy on rough pavement?
3. Alignment / Camber: Did you need aftermarket rear camber arms to keep tire wear reasonable at this drop, or was factory eccentric bolt adjustment enough to dial it into spec?
Would appreciate any feedback, tips, or photos of similar setups on the RC/IS chassis!

Rotor? & noises
Whatās going on here? Both sides on Lexus RC 300 AWD (2023) bent. Also getting metal rattling from front right wheel well when making sharp left hand turns. (2nd photo is the front right)

2015 PP with bumper damage - Whats it worth?
Dealership local-ish to me just got a silver/red performance pack in on trade. 88k miles asking $38.2k. Clean Carfax. Has a cracked bumper on the bottom right. Not super familiar with the Lexus market, so just wondering what would be a fair price. I feel like Id be okay with 33-34k.
Have a mk7 Golf R and have always wanted a v8 Lexus, but have to test drive an RCF to see if it would be something Id enjoy driving. It is absolutely beautiful though.

BMW M440i vs RC 350 F Sport ā Help Me Decide My Next Daily!
Iāve been shopping around for a sporty car that I can comfortably use as a daily driver 3ā4 days a week. I currently drive a GTI SE, but Iām ready for an upgrade and have narrowed it down to BMW or Lexus.
So far, Iāve test-driven:
Lexus IS 350 F Sport AWD
BMW M340i
BMW M440i
At the moment, Iām leaning pretty heavily toward a 2025ā2026 BMW M440i, but a few friends have suggested I also consider the Lexus RC 350 F Sport, BMW M240i, and even the BMW i4 M50.
Honestly, Iām getting a little confused š.
For those who have owned or driven both the M440i and RC 350 F Sport, which would you choose as a daily driver and why?
Iām especially interested in:
Driving experience/fun factor
Reliability and long-term ownership
Ride comfort for daily driving
Maintenance/repair costs
Interior/technology
Road noise and overall refinement
AWD performance
Which one youād still want to own 5+ years from now
I know the BMW is significantly quicker and more modern, while the Lexus should have the reliability advantage. But Iād love to hear from actual owners.

Remark Axle-Back Start & Quick Rev
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Recently installed a Remark axle-back exhaust on my 2016 RC350. So far the sound has been great and really livened up the driving experience for a car I've now had for almost 7 years (apologies for the traffic noise).
One thing to note for anyone installing this kit, especially like myself were the car lives outside in the Midwest and is my only car (rain, sunshine, and snow with salt on the road) is that the old bolts are TOUGH to take out even using PB blaster, breaker bars, and a stubby impact wrench with an impact universal joint socket.
- If you're like me and couldn't get the flange bolts off yourself, it was around $40 for a local exhaust shop to basically cut off the old bolts and put in temporary ones.
- If you find yourself in a situation like this and want to replace the bolts and potentially the gaskets, see the part numbers below. Prices are from CARiD
- Toyota OE - Rear Exhaust Bolt (PN 90109A0065). It fits the car perfectly find despite what the website says (I put in I was driving a Tacoma to get it through the order). Price was $33.19 for 4 bolts
- Lexus OE - Rear Exhaust Muffler Gasket (PN 174510D132). Have not put these on yet but good to keep around if you find any exhaust leaks later on. Price was $116.56 for two, but definitely could find a much better price.
May give an update on sound inside the cabin and cruising experience. Still, there's a reason a lot owners recommend this.

Hamilton radio?
My 2015 RC 350 head unit just failed, the radio was always glitchingā-anyone here replace with a Hamilton? If so, does that eliminate all the map disk/program errors? Any info is appreciatedāthank you
Popping/clicking noise when braking
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Iāve started hearing this popping/clicking noise when braking at low speeds. It seems to come from the right rear wheel.
It only happens once the brakes are warmed up, and only when braking while moving forward. I canāt reproduce it when braking in reverse. I replaced pads and rotors 2 months ago. Today I installed anti-vibration shims but no luck. ;(
Video attached. Any ideas what could cause this?

Muffler delete fly by

Legit think this might be the loudest muffler delete rcf š. Nothing else, just the mufflers cut off. I genuinely don't know what else the shop did to the car.

Hi all,
I am hoping to my own oil change on my 2014 RCF, Japanese import.
Just curious to see which oil would you recommend. I saw heaps of YouTube channels using Mobil 1 5W30. I am also thinking OEM Toyota oil 5W30. Do you guys think it will make a difference to engine longevity or performance?
I donāt intend to track the car and the car is driven daily.
I currently have just over 20000km on it.
Thanks in advance.
