forgive the quality. these were taken from my iphone. will take better ones later.

oh I decided to just let them drill. it didn't really bother me.

in the future,I want to add some alloy wheels and possibly some tint. That would be it for me. The performance is better than my honda accord and gets better mileage, so I'm very happy with it.

 

 

Oooo you cracked the headlights open! How hard was it and what did you have to do to get them out? I think you have to take off the bumper but I'm not sure.

 

Headlights look great. I'm too afraid to do mine, worried that I wouldn't get them back together and sealed.

 

It is not for the faint of heart, I really got some interesting looks from the wife.
You will have to remove some of the plastic rivets and pull the fender down a little to get to the third headlight screw.

I baked the headlight at 200 deg for 10 min.

I am not the first good DIY here:

Oh I know about the DIY Just wanted to see if you did anything differently. I too am too afraid to do this myself since the headlights are $400!

 

398 of 2000. Crap phone picture, will take some better ones this weekend. Got it Sunday, already put 500miles on it

 

 

Hey all, not trying to bash anyone's RS1 whatsoever here, but... I finally saw my first RS1 at the dealer where I bought my Nautical Blue xD, while I had it in for the 5000 mile maintenance... nice car, but in person, I was kinda disappointed with the actual color - after seeing at all the photos online, I thought the Hot Lava was going to be quite a bit brighter and more towards a Reddish-Orange, but the color is more of a standard burnt orange seen in a lot of other cars, and a bit "duller" looking than I was expecting.

Don't get me wrong, it's still really nice looking, I was just expecting more "vividness" to the color, perhaps... Is it just me that thinks that way, or anyone else think it should have been brightened up a bit to make it even more of a "unique" color?? Maybe if the car I was looking at had a good coat of wax on it, it would have looked brighter, but...

I'm only bringing this up because I was kinda bummed that they came out with the RS1 just a few months after I picked up my fairly bland, boring blue xD, and I was thinking I should have held-out for an RS1, but after seeing the actual color in person, I'm not regretting it nearly as much... but, the body kit and interior mods are really nice, though - I like the orange thread in the seats and the painted dash.

 

No new pics yet. Was busy doing an intake mod. Now that was time worth spent. Sounds great with the TRD exhaust and throttle response is much improved as well as a little more pull at take off. Now that I proved the concept with $30, maybe it's worth spending the money for the Fujita.

 

It looks really good in bright sun light. Most pics I take the color looks dark orange or red.

 

I just picked mine up last night!! I will post pictures after I take them. Don't even know what number it is!!

 

Well I sold YELOSUB back in March and bought a 2006 Mustang GT...While the Mustang was fun and all, I missed my Scion so I sold the Mustang and went out and bought my RS1 xD #847 this last Saturday...I love it! I've always loved the Hot Lava color ever since the RS1 xB...I will post pics when I'm not so damn busy...Tint is coming soon and so are rims, going with 17's...Congrats to everyone, these are truly one bada$$ little ride...

 

nice job on catching them before they drilled the front bumper, or maybe you live in one of the good states that dont require a front license.

 

opps, wrong picture. not being a smart ___

 

 

Zefoxe, love the first pic, wish the door was closed.

 

I know My gf and my best friend were playing around with the car cause it was the 3rd day I had it and wouldn't get out of the way

 

 

Looks great, I think the silver rims look good with the color.
