Are these clips in the engine bay supposed to be this loose?
And if not, where can I get some that will actually hold?

Suspension Clunk
Does anyone else have a squeaky front end suspension clunk around 100k miles with the first-gen RC?
I’ve had two mechanics check it out. One said tie rod ends, the other one said control arm bushings.
After replacing both, I still have no improvement.
Just wondering if anyone else in the subreddit was in a similiar situation that they found the fix for.

How did you land on the RC?
I want to hear your story about how you ended up with an RC.
Currently in the market for a new vehicle, but struggling to decide on one.
What made you pick the RC vs other cars in the same segment? Any post purchase regrets or major recurring issues? Any thing in particular to look out for when researching this car in the market? And what's your plan with the car? Mod it? Trade it later? Drive it til it can't? Appreciate any and all input.

Squealing noise
I have a 2020 Lexus RC 350 F Sport RWD, and I’ve been dealing with a persistent, high-pitched squealing noise when braking at low speeds.
The noise seems to depend on brake pressure. It’s most noticeable when lightly pressing the brakes, and it gets quieter or stops when I press harder. I also notice it when turning while braking.
I replaced the front brake pads and rotors a few months ago, but the noise was happening before the replacement and is still happening afterward. We’ve also cleaned the brake area, which helped temporarily, but the squealing eventually came back.
I’ve noticed some rust on the front rotors as well.
Has anyone experienced something similar on their RC 350? Could it be the brake pad compound, shims/hardware, caliper slide pins, or something else? Is there a known Lexus service bulletin or updated brake pad kit I should look into?
I’d appreciate any advice before spending more money replacing parts. Thanks!

Fitment
Seen coilovers for an rcF for sale, would they still fit my 200t?

Tire pressure sensor help
Intermittent showing of tire pressure. Or it will blink and stay solid for a while. Once day it work another it doesn’t. Replaced left front last year. Other 3 are original 2015 model year.
Took it to my Mechanic over the weekend he plugged in his snap on tool in the OBD two it didn’t show any codes or anything. He also tested it with the TPms tool and it showed everything was OK with the sensors so what else could it be and what do I need to replace?
Help budgeting for RC200T
I have around $15k, is getting a rc200t at this price point any smart as a teen driver?
I was also seeing a rc300 awd for around there but it has higher mileage.

Rc Starter Problems
Hey, is it a common situation with the starter going out in a high moisture area?

OEM+ RGB Ambient lighting installed
Finally got around to installing this recently and figured I’d share the results. I was able to remove the door panels, remove the stock white ambient lighting rod and insert these rgb strips into the space and seal it back up with glue. Ran the wire through the door as well and all wires are hidden. I also ran the dash strip behind the screen and ran the wire through the dash and down. Zero holes drilled and zero wires visible.
I’m super happy with the outcome. The door lighting was some what technical to get it to fit and maintain oem style but was so worth it.

Showing off the color flip wrap with gas station lighting 😎
Looks absolutely insane in person. Car looks awesome during the day, but turns into a different beast at night with all of the bright LED lighting that’s out there

Thoughts on Revel Medallion Touring-S vs Invidia Q300
Wanting to buy a exhaust mod for my rc 200t I know that it is a smaller engine but I strongly want to avoid a tuner with loud drone noises. I want to sound like a modest/ deeper tone upgrade. What would be the better option?

Popping noise after installing throttle controller
Hey guys, just finally installed Pedal Commander on my RC 200 T. Absolutely completely different car blown away. The positive comments were an understatement. I do have a concern though… Getting a singular pop sounding like metal after every third time I put my foot on the gas to accelerate. I’m concerned if this is some serious component that I’m affecting and I’m wondering if this is something that will affect my car long-term I want to hear y’all thought thoughts.
