Will never get tired of hearing the delightful idle an aftermarket exhaust can provide and of course the grunts from the revs. We'll have to have a sound off some time 😛

Up for that. Boys will always be boys....

Replaced the wrapped front 'F' badge with a custom black 'L'. I think it's much better 🙂

Look good man!

I was toying with the idea of the square front plate. Got anymore pics but from a distance with the square plate? Just trying to decide whether I like it or not!

The Lexus badge does look better, personally always thought the F was a bit naff!

Hi Ben, lovely car, I'm just planning out what I want to do with mine. Can I just ask with the square front plate did you stick it on with 3m to the grill or use a bracket? If you used a bracket can you share which one you used?

Thanks

Hi, thank you! I used the original mounting bracket and trimmed it down to fit the square plate.

I didn't even think of that! Thanks man

Tunnel 😄

I took a slight detour through the Hindehead tunnel on Saturday - awesome!

Which RC F's had the F instead of L badge on the front? Is that a newer model thing?

What a sound!!! Makes you wanna drive in tunnels all day. So the new exhaust isn't droning at all at lower speeds or normal daily driving?

None of them from the factory. Aftermarket mod.

No drone, I love it! How it should have been stock.

Tunnels make great sound. Did that once in a 911 turbo tuned by Stig in Sweden. Window slightly open. 1994 - 95.

The invidia sounds amazing in the tunnel. Accidentally hit the limiter too for a few firecrackers 👌🏼😀

That makes it a very tempting modification!!!

Hey @ben_harmer32I have a question - where did you get the body kit? The little black lips etc. Looks really good to be honest 😍

I like those, I'm guessing they are plastic. Saw an RC at Snows being serviced with similar, I'm tempted I must say.

[hockeyedwards]

Didn't even realise they did GS stuff as well, shall have a proper nose about 😛

[ben_harmer32]

I stumbled across them when I was hunting for a splitter. Couldn't justify thousands on a carbon piece I would probably crack on a speed bump. 

They look a bit cheap when they arrived, but fitment was spot on and they look good once mounted. More than happy with them now and the visual difference to the car, again, is how it should have looked from factory 😄

Did you opt for the carbon finish? if so what's it like?

No I went for gloss black. As I have real carbon on the car I didn't want it to clash.

[BillNick]

Hmmm wonder what it actually looks like. Do they offer returns? I might order those small rear pieces if so just to see what the carbon effect looks like.

[k80]

I found that Maxton myself, but was a bit worried about the reviews, some people's splitters haven't stayed on but I guess you just gotta make sure you fit it right. I guess you get what you pay for and I do agree, these are so likely to get damaged there's not much point spending a lot of money. I imagine they're easy to remove, too?

Does gloss black go with grey? 🤔 Tempting tempting
