no, theyre only available if you have a VIN # for the RS and can verify its yours. but even then, the parts a pricey. And the 1st gen xB had a "lip kit" stock. xseveredveganx, its not pointless, that kit was made specifically for the RS 3.0 tC and its available but only if you can verify that you have a RS 3.0 tC. midtown, its not going to look the same because that kit was a prototype 5Axis lip kit and 5Axis owns that design and Kenstyle is always original, they never copy.

I still think it's ridiculous you can't buy the lip kit outright.

I understand it's a special edition and what not, but still...

I'm sure I could find some way to get it!

My girlfriends mother is a bigwig at toyota, so I'm sure that I will not olny be able to get it, but also get it at cost. I would love to see the dealership tell her no )

Looks like a civic with that kit, eww

And I would have thought they would had more to the RS package, this is probably the least amount of goodies they ahve put out.

Click on the link above the picture. Quite a few other pics - including one of the sunroof and interior.

If it looked more like the 5-axis/show car did, I would seriously consider trading mine in. As it is, I'll be sticking with my Classic Silver Metallic box.

Not a fan of body kits in general, and especially not this one.

Not feelin' the front & rear lips - looks like a complete afterthought that doesn't flow all that smoothly off the body panels.
Like the sunroof.
The interior gold is a little bright for my taste, but I know Scion wants it to stand apart from the crowd.
Silver hubcaps always look bad on a gold car... should be black instead. That way they would stand apart from the base xB more also.

That Kenstyle kit looks like garbage. Reminds of the 90's Honda Erebuni look. A bit embarrasing for Scion - they are trying too hard to be cool ...lol.

The only thing I like is the moonroof.

Well i like the color, interior, and the moonroof, but that kit is just lame, it looks way cheesy.
