Carbon is beyond Ghetto Tacky, OY LOOK AT ME!!!!

 

[soarer]

I rarely hear of someone on a forum on a car like this calling carbon "beyond ghetto tacky," those wheels are what's really beyond ghetto tacky, if anything needs to go, it's those wheels.

and thats supposed to change my opinion? Lexus is supposed to be a classy brand and now they want to play ricky racer? Carbon is a functional piece of tech, when flaunted like such it becomes ghetto tacky, look what I've got bud. A car would look equally as tacky with an exposed steel/aluminium hood.

If you're offended by generic ten spoke mags you might need to look elsewhere because clearly you're looking for something beyond what lexus can offer.

Said it before and I'll say it again its just nto my cup of tea.

Moving on, it would have been a great trip to the ring. Audi takes the win!

i don't care about changing you opinion

lexus was a classy brand, they've moved away from just that, now they're a luxury/sport brand, and that's something im not sure you understand or not.

i'm not offended, i can live with these wheels for the time being until i go aftermarket and move them to beater status, but it's not about how many spokes it has it's about it's design

Carbon fiber hood is a bit much for me. Rims I could take them or leave them NBD.

I really like the liquid platinum color though. It looks like white from some angles and then grey/silver from others. Lexus has really nice paint colors to choose from. Each color has so much depth and changes shade so nicely depending on which way you look at it.

Carbon fiber spoiler is more tasteful than the carbon fiber hood.

I have noticed that and will need to see it in person to really judge it, i suggest you do the same as pictures don't always give you the best look at them.

Plus depending on how someone edits their pictures it can make a color seem much better than it really is in real life.

It would be a good idea for a car maker to come up with some type of program that allows you to see the different car colors in different lighting. That would give people a better understanding of exactly what the colors look like without having to see it in person.

 

[soarer]

The problem with that is many people do not care or don't even know that car colors vary like this so it would be a waste of time. It's just some well informed enthusiasts that will make the effort to go the dealership and spend time looking at the car under different lighting in the show room, outside in the sun, in the shade, etc.

Plus it's not like it will help them sell more cars, if anything an extra one or two, it's just not worth the effort.

What type of program are you talking about? An app or an interactive picture?

Here are some more professional photos of the RC F at Goodwood.

That silver looks amazing and from the looks of it that is likely the closest we'll get to see it in it's true form aside from seeing it in person.

This just might be my favorite RC color.

Nice set of photos. Its all the lighting that really brings out the silver.

YEs its a very rich paint! Wish they would stop with the carbon hoods though. Especially at Goodwood, just not the right scene...

I just hope they have more of a reason for it than for how it looks. If it really serves a real purpose then they should consider giving people the option of having it and any other carbon fiber parts on what ever color the body is in.
