Now back to topic, I dig the color of the car, but as others have said, it just doesn't seem like RS status. Chances are after drop/rims/ets. it'll look much nicer. Keep us posted though.

That is an awesome looking car! You get two 
for that one.
All you need now is to lower it, get some rims and a tint and the exterior is taken care of. I wish my RS2 came with a body kit but you can't have everything now can you.

you know, its really easy to hate and thats cool, everyone is entitled to their opinion. REmember folks, we drive some of the ugliest cars around. Also, for the 'haters' you gotta know I'm a former xB addict and amd a serious Scion junkie. I knew exactly what I was doing. You can find the price online but it was 1849 over a stock xA.
The way I look at it, for about the same, plus some, I could get a stock xA and paint it a color no one else has. or I could just start here, get the lip kit and spoiler and call it good.
I love the color, love the car and really dont care what anyone says. !!!!
As for everyone else, I have no idea what rims to do but am pricing out coils and rims plus a few other little perks. Sunroof goes in on Monday and tint right there after.

I dont really think anyone's here to criticize your choice of car, it's just that were're all a tad dissappointed at the direction Scion went with the final RS xA.
I too think that this is truley a bad color choice for an RS and the seats (from the pictures mind you) dont look appealing at all.
Basically I think that Scion read what we all posted about the RS3.0's color being horrible for an RS and decided to delay the release so that they could strap on the kits to try and sell the car. I can say this: last minute modding never makes up for a poor build. Sure I can super-charge a geo metro, but what's the point?
Anyhow I do like how the kit turned out and I congratulate you on your purchase of an xA, I know you'll love it for many years to come.

Hater, i'm not. I just thought the RS3 could have come out a lot better with the kit and especially the color. And like Pscyco said, I dont think anyone's here to criticize your car, we're just simply adding to the conversation of what we think. That's all. No need to get defensive. But I like I said before, congrats and enjoy the car. I'm sure you'll love it.

oh I'm not defensive, its just interesting to see just a bashing of Scion's choices... I think they did a nice job and by doing stuff like front and rear lips, it kinda forces you to looks at doing little things like adding side skirts etc.... It in a way forces you to play with and enjoy and love your car.
As for the color, The only thing I'll say it I would never have bought that color if it wasnt an RS. I think it stands out, its unique enough and if you want to go sporty, it works, but if you want to stay clean and fresh or even VIP, it works just as well.

I like it, shoot me cause I do. He posted to show his new xA not to read about what some of you don't like about Scion's decision about what to equip the RS 3.0 with. I think if Scion woulda gave it the KS grille it would look even better!! Enjoy ur new xA. JDM that thing out!! So, what are your plans for it??

Hi Dude! Sure do like your new RS3 xA! The xA is a unique car in its own right, but having one of only 2100 with a special color and equipment would truly be something special to own, drive, and show at meets. It's a fine looking car, and welcome to xA land!
