tC RS 8.0 Owners check in
I feel that the tC RS 8.0 members should chime in with what number you own, whether it's auto or manual transmission & what accessories came on your vehicle.
If you could also provide the state your vehicle is in or dealership that you obtained your RS from. I'm trying to figure out how allocation works for RS vehicles.
I'm in NJ picked up my car from Parkway Toyota in Englewood Cliffs my number is 45 it's a manual transmission no fogs just carpet mats, wheel locks and bumper appliqué.
Warning:
Front bumper had scratches on the very bottom of it taking it to the body shop to be repaired so future owners check the bottom of the bumper before you drive off the lot.

For all of you members that have scraps on the bumper and steep driveways, this is what I am talking about
Go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a garage door seal. leave the seal outside for an hour so the seal can straighten out and then cut the seal according to the size of the bumper. You can use velcro to hold it up.

Update to damage on lip kit
Just to give those RS 8.0 members an update regarding the scratches to the lowest part of the front lip kit. I've gone to six different body shops four in NYC and two locally ranging from Geico approved to those who mostly cater to luxury and exotics the repair cost ranges from $100.00 to $500.00. It will require removal of front bumper completely, sanding and painting either the area locally to the whole front bumper. No one was willing to simply raise the whole car on a shop lift prep the area and paint just the affected area. One tuner based shop recommended buying the front lip again, painting it, removal of old lip kit and replacing it with newly painted kit & for future protection having a strip of abs plastic glued to the bottom of the lip kit. I'm going to inquire with Toyota tomorrow regarding ordering another one, from what I have heard it is very difficult for a customer to just simply buy parts that are exclusive to a special edition vehicle unless the request is made via an insurance claim. I'll keep the members here posted.
Idk about that, but it is unlike some other cars on the road, even the regular tC owners look in surprise

Just intalled OEM+ Reference 400CF audio upgrade with the Absolutley Red Subwoofer enclosure. Going to do 7 color illuminated door sills, the fogs and maybe NIA kits eyelids....still thinking on that one. Also, cool air intake eventually. Couldn't be happier! And yes, necks are breaking

I'm new to the forums -- Checking in #1376 in Nor-Cal, got it a little over 3 weeks ago. Front bumpers had no issues nor its underparts. Manual Transmission. Had to get Fog Lights as an additional option + alarm - just carpet mats as nothing else came with it as an addition.
