Spotted in Solar Flare

Wow that's a lot brighter than I was expecting. They almost could have called it peach fuzz. I don't think its my favorite color on the RC 350. I don't like how the back taillights don't really contrast with the body color now.

in the shop it looks much better than it does when outside, this also goes to show how it looks can vary depending on where you're viewing it, for that reason it's best to see this color in person.

good thing you don't see the tail lamps very often

here's a few more, paint looks a bit like the CCS-R no?

Thanks spoonful!

Loving the wild color on the RCF. Im not usually a fna of orange but this one can definitely change my mind.

Reminds me of the BMW Lime Rock Park

I agree that it looks better in the shop than under the sun. The deeper orange is more flattering than the shade that it is in the sun. In the sun it looks faded from these pictures.

heres one from under the hood...

I wonder if that little carbon accent around the cobalt blue is standard on all RC-F's or only the carbon packs?

I wish this was a full shot of the engine bay, seeing that orange engine bay with an epic v8 sitting in it is quite the view.

I'm not usually a person for bright colors like this but I have to say this one is growing on me.

I'm really digging the anodized blue intake plenum. Adds a nice touch under the hood. Carbon is alright for show candy its not need but of course who would complain if it just came with it.

I do wonder how metallicy the orange is... I'm sure its hiding something..

one thing I forgot to mention is if they have "solar flare" and it's color code listed on the driver side door frame or if this one doesn't have it yet.

I take it that means no.

If that's really the case with them then i can understand

Back to the paint, heres a close up of the Solar flare, see how deep and metallic it is, seriously hold judgement until its seen in the metal...

Nice, first time seeing a detail shot of it. Are there anymore?

Thanks for sharing the picture. Lexus really didnt skimp out on the paint. The metallic flakes are just beautiful.
