There is only like 3 threads full of pictures.

But your best bet would be to goo look at one yourself.

My biggest regret to buying my box is not getting a RS version.

IMO, the RS4.0 is the lamest of the group. The Lava was the best with the Envy in a close second.
What were they thinking with that stupid black plastic aplique on the back bumper. I wonder how hard it will be to remove that fugly thing? The only cool thing about it is the grill.

It is possible to find nice low mileage verisions of the RS series vehicles used if you really wanted one. I'm gonna get a used Lava in a few years if I can find a nice one for under 8K.

You need to see one in person. Pictures do not capture the effect of the paint.

Yeah, saw one and wasn't impressed. I could see that aplique turning white from being "waxed" and from sun damage from being parked outside all the time. Then worring about trying to remove it without peeling up the paint on the bumper. It just seemed like a mis-guided mod.
Plus the color isn't as nice as I thought. It's more yellow than gold. And the dark color just looks maroonish. The one I saw was in Franklin,Ky it also had some cheezy chrome wheels on it and it was filthy and covered in bird crap.

I love my 4.0, looks sexy in the light, but I agree they could have done a little more.

All you have to do is get the JDM bB polished bumper garnish and you're set.
I personally love the RS4 color in person, but have yet to see one with the right wheels on it...

Yeah, that bB bumper guard would be sweet on it. Also the 18" TRDs would be about perfect on the RS4.0. They are perfect on all xB's for that matter but I'm prejudiced. LMAO

Once again thats the way it is with opinons.I think the TRD wheels look terrible on the RS4.0...actually I think they aren't that great of wheel especially for the price.But of course to each his own!

Isn't this a wonderful country. Love them TRDs for sure. Glad I didn't have to spend the big bucks for them.

I just love the fact that I can go to a show and not have the wheels counted as a mod because they are considered "factory upgrade".

Nice pick! I also have to agree that the hot lava was the best because of the options the car came with, But if i where buying a new box, i would take whatever RS i could get my hands one. There all really cool.

CXT, is that BCP? Not seeing the color change. Wheels are kinda dark also. I'd love to see an RS4.0 with TRDs!
