I think swapping the badging all depends on the color or your RC F, and of course, individual preference. On the white, I like the new "smoke" or darker emblem. On my 2018 Infared, I actually love the chrome and wouldn't swap it out. Kinda goes well with the chrome driver side and passenger side chrome window trim along with the chrome "RC" on the trunk.
Bro that came out looking nicer than before, the original silver emblem looks kinda stale, this black one really makes it stand out nicely. Just wondering how was the tinting process? Would you be able to walk me thru it quickly. Im wondering how you applied it and got it looking smooth and how you cut it to shape perfectly. Cheers
Appreciate it! I didn’t video tape it, but used some videos on RUclips. Basically, you clean the emblem, get a spray bottle with water, saturate the emblem. Once wet, lay the vinyl piece starting from the inside, working your way slowly to the outside. Take an exacto knife and trim the edges. The emblem still sticking til this day without any need to redo.
It was a great idea to tint it, gives it a nice cool stealth look and less factory. Im wondering how you trimmed the edges lol. Did you cut right where it curved or did you bring the vinyl over the edge and cut it from almost the back of the emblem if you know what I mean. Just want to make sure the best way to cut for longevity and minimize peeling of some sort.
I just cut on the edge when it starts to curve. I forgot to mention, use a hair drier/heat gun on low as well. Helps to mold the vinyl. You will see once you do it, the best place to cut.
I liked the stock emblem better bro it looked way cleaner and elegant..I have the same car but in black and I love the chrome emblem I’m thinking about doing a very light smoke vinyl tint on it..but I love how there open/hallow instead of the full solid circle..you should think about putting the stock emblem back on but tint it next time it will look really good..but either way your car looks really nice great job 👍🏼
@@BWItoATXF your welcome bro and I didn’t mean anything by it..yes it looks very nice bro doesn’t look bad at all you definitely made it look different..
Broski it much easier if you heat gun and thread it..it works a lot better and brings the risk of scratching the paint or cracking the emblem..you run a thread behind it pulling it down side to side as if you were cutting through it..👍🏼
Yep - I’ve done that method before on older cars. But the heat gun on this specific application is excessive and not needed. Floss could also work just fine but the composition of this specific car adhesive along with the age, prying between the adhesive and emblem should suffice. The tool was soft enough not to cause scratches.
MJN. RCF yeah I mentioned last time typically that is what I have used in the past. Saw some others have good success with the trim tools. Worked like a charm.

I actually did this to my RC F today, Definitely makes rear POP. Good post brother. 👍
I really appreciate your videos as fellow RCF owner. You take your time and explain clearly. Keep it coming!
Really appreciate the support! Have a very small base but comments like these keep me going. Thank you!

Yep such a small detail that can completely change the aesthetics of your car with what you want it to be!
Love your RC-F, I have an IS-F and I just ordered a new badge for the front and back. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the love, and support. Happy you enjoy the content.

@prodigy6174 good luck man. Hit me on IG if you need anything.
Hi able to share where I can get this Lexus Black Emblem? Thanks
Any Lexus dealership should be able to provide. Bell Lexus is my favorite online resource for Lexus parts.
hey bro whered u get this ? i just hopped on ebay didnt find these .
Got it from Bell Lexus. Any dealer should be able to get them for you.
@@BWItoATXF much love bro

so you just bought an acrylic emblem and them wrapped it in a smoke vinyl?!?!?
Yeah
@@BWItoATXF bro it looks great
I don’t have a garage lol but I have done this with just using floss and goo gone.
That works too
Would this work for a 14 Gs350 to?
Not too sure. Would have to check the forums/groups for the GS.
@@BWItoATXF I have been looking and done really see much .
Will that badge fit the 3is trunk?
Got to ask the forums. Not my platform.
I lightweight want that emblem now. That bish hard
Did you just wrap it with vinyl tint?
And if you have a drill you just get one of those rubber adhesive remover attachments. Those work way faster than goo gone
Yeah just vinyl smoke tint. I’ve heard about those. They work but more room for error and I didn’t have one lol
@@BWItoATXFhow dark should the smoke be?
@Abc123gut this is the exact product I used: amzn.to/3wAQb59
looks amazing, can you share the Lexus part# as well as a link to the wrap you used. Thanks!
Mark Joseph thanks. Should be listed in the video.
@@BWItoATXF It is not listed but it is in the video.
Lexus 90975-02154
Does it fit for 2018 GSF as well?
Phu Nguyen not sure. There should be an equivalent for yours if not.
Where did you buy it from ?
WD-40 works better than Goo Gone. 👍
Can’t find the emblem. Can you send the link
Lookn good
What size?
Idk. Whatever the part number asks for.
Tip. Next time use floss lol

Lightly Smoke the taillights and get a catback exhaust
david wade was considering a light smoke of the tails.
Already have the invidia catback installed.
@@BWItoATXF a lite smoke of the tails would be good i may do the same ....how do you like the invidia are your resonators deleted?
@@davidwade7681 The catback replaces the midpipe that has the resonators. I was debating on removing the resonators on the catback, but will probably keep when ever I choose to go headers.
@@BWItoATXF ya i wish they still made borla for the rcf it sounded mean ..ill probably keep stock an do a resonator delete
Don’t tell him how to mod his car.
