SEMA 2014 was extra special for us as we teamed up with Lexus and VIP Auto Salon to showcase the #instabuilt 2015 Lexus RC F. Fans all over the world voted on the @LexusUSA Instagram page to create a RC F they wanted to see debut at SEMA in the Vossen booth. Over the course of two weeks selections were made and Clark Ishihara, CEO of VIP Auto Salon, was tasked with building the RC F in less than four weeks based on the winning selections in regards to; color, wheels, brakes, tires, suspension, bodykit, exhaust, seats, steering wheel. Fans chose our directional design and we decided to exceed their expectations by building a custom set of our lightweight forged Vossen Precision Series "311" wheels specifically for the RC F measuring 20x9 in front and 20x10.5 in the rear in graphite. We even built a set of miniature "311" wheels for the mini RC Fradio controlled car! The RC F debuted Tuesday to much fanfare in our exclusive Lexus centric booth for SEMA 2014. We showcased all all white theme except for the "Seafoam" Green RC F. Other Lexus vehicles featured in our booth;

2013 Lexus GS 350 featuring 20" VLE-1
2012 Lexus LFA "Nurburgring" ediiton featuring 20" forged Vossen Precision Series "304"
2014 Lexus LS 460 F-sport featuring 22" forged Vossen Precision Series "313" owned by Mike@Vossen
2014 Lexus IS 350 F-sport featuring 20" VFS-2

During the week it was great to chat with our friends throughout the industry and to hear such positive feedback on the RC F build. Motor Trend even choose our forged VPS "'311" wheels as one of the hottest wheels at SEMA and USAToday featured this RC F build nationally. Saturday we then headed out to the amazing Red Rock National Park to take the RC F on a scenic drive and to showcase the build with our media team, including some friends in the industry like Clifford Sutrisno and Ryan Bacsafra of KaizenFactor as we took film and photography and this one of a kind build.
