Limited Edition 1 of 1 '08 "ARS" xB
 
I got this idea from the RS5 with the color matching on the interior "silver" panels.
I'm calling it the "ARS" (Andrew's Release Series)

Im Andrew also LOL


Man that looks clean!!!!! OK need info on how to remove the parts with out breaking them LOL And i just love the Scion United Badge

DREWxB08 04-04-2009 02:25 AM

And where and how can i get the sticker for the rear badge??

A-snell 04-04-2009 02:27 AM

most of them were a piece of cake. just "POPS" right off. the Passenger side vent was a B!TCH to remove. I had to bend the dash up (whit the battery disconnected) and use a "stubby" screwdriver to remove the 3 screws holding it in. I considered removing the entire dash, but there is 1 bolt that was hard for me to reach, AFTER I got everything put back together I found out how to get the stubborn bolt out.

I got the material from Schucks Auto parts. it is a CF sticker. I traced out the patern and CAREFULLY put it in place.

I am in the process of color matching my interior pieces as well. It is disapointing that the RS 6 did not come color coordinated as the RS 5 did.

So far I have only completed one of the back door handle as a test to see if I would actually like it.

How was getting the plastic pieces off of the steering wheel?

DarkBox8 04-04-2009 06:28 AM

Dude how did you do the pieces on the steering wheel? I looked to see how they popped off a few times but couldn't find anything!! SHARE pleaseee....

Looking good too man!

OK. this one had me a little baffled. on either side, behind the wheel you will find 2 holes. in these holes are bolts with a "star" allen head. I couldn't believe I had the right size, but I did. I will look for it and post the size for you. Once these are removed the horn housing comes right off. (MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST)
then there are 2 screws, one for each piece, holding the plastic in place.

Once I figured out how to get them off it was easy. the passenger side vent was the worst.

As most of you can see, there are quite a few white specs on most of the pieces.. it's not in the paint. it's dust. I cleaned it off, but the camera flash picked up what I didn't see. Also the pic of the rear hatch emblem... it had just rained, so there was a little water....

HUH? do you mean the color of the pedals don't match the other red on the car?
it's what I found here at a local speed shop.. have you found any "RED" ones that would match better? let me know...
