Default finally modded my xA... 56k sorry kiddos

Well, almost 2 years later I finally started to mod my RS 1.0 xA.... here's some pics tell me what you think! Thank you weksos, myautofashion, scionxfactor, and scionsport

What I've done recently:
- Tanabe DF210 lowering springs (approx 2" drop, a little less in the front)
- Injen Cold Air Intake
- Luminics Bulbs Pure Blue HID-look 6k Headlight bulbs
- ScionXFactor clear bumper markers with xenon white bulbs
- ScionXFactor JDM crystal clear side markers with xenon white bulbs
- DirektStart LCD pager remote 2-way security system with remote start
- Toyota Yaris rubber mat set theyre sweet!
- Rebadged with Toyota "T" and TRD emblems
- 20% rear tint, 30% front tint














I'll take some nighttime pics one of these days to show the luminics blue bulbs as well as the clear bumper and side markers, and my interior led's
leave your comments! thanks![/img]

Dude...

You keep the car SQUEAKY CLEAN. I like your style! What do you do/use to keep the engine bay so clean? Also, how difficult was it to remove the Scion emblem? And where did you find the exact sized Toyota emblem to put on it???

haha props for that comment....i had my cousin degrease the entire engine bay and we detailed a few parts with some sprays and whatnot. the only important thing is to cover some of the electrical things when you spray anything in the engine bay. im pretty big on keeping the exterior and interior clean.... i cant stand having the car being dirty (except in the winter, its disgusting!) removing the scion emblem was easy, just like removing all emblems. just take a heat source, i used a hair dryer, and apply the heat for a few minutes. then use dental floss or a credit card.... put the floss behind the emblem and slowly the emblem will peel off when you pull. use Goo-Gone to get all of the remaining adhesive off of the paint, wash and wax it and then put the new emblem on. i got the Toyota "T" emblem from www.myautofashion.com, they have them in stock and i got it in a few days after ordering it. go for it.... it adds a nice touch!!

Nice to see another xA RS1 modded!

I noticed that you do not have the fog lights. If you want them get them from Sparks TRD for $219 shipped. I got mine from them and installed them in about 30 minutes. I think the fogs are a great add-on to the xA.

Nice looking RS1.0.

I like the Toyota badge, but not feelin' the TRD, or the xA on the inside. IMO, the less badges the cleaner it looks. In fact, I think if you put the TRD badge on the inside it would be better. You could lose the xA badge altogether. Other than that, nice rims, nice drop, nice tint. Overall clean ride.

I'd also like to see the Yaris mats!

thanks for the comments. yeah some people dont like the idea of badges, but i like the toyota emblem combined with the TRD, just to be a little different. the xA badge inside im going to take off when my ist badge comes in (which ill put in the same spot that the xA is at right now). i gotta clean the inside of the car and ill take some interior pics, including the yaris mats.

The car looks sweet! Lovin' the RS1.0!

Can't say I'm feelin' the decals on the rear window. However the TRD badge looks hot!

BTW, how do the Yaris floormats fit? Is there a difference in the sedan and hatch?
