is this a genuine rs1?
 

Found this on autotrader...Looks like the RS1 and says RS1 but why does this one have a regular front end?

Cost cutting accident repair.

That's my story and I am sticking to it.

It's real.

Maybe the lip was really messed up?

agreed. missing sideskirts as well. no info on posting regarding an accident?

Let's get the expert to weigh in (though it looks right to me) @TRD-X any info? Doesn't appear on your Registry but maybe one of your Facebook groups?

maybe previous owner took the lip out and sell it
or
accident ?

Tcoat it's a real RS 1.0 there's a lot of owners selling the parts before the car is repossessed or traded.

This car needs these parts that's missing.


Front Spoiler - $1,958.68

SideSkirts - $1,511.80 each

TRD Exhaust - $1,100.00
Plus the fit kit for the front spoiler and sideskirts.





Total cost - 6,663.87

Ouch! See and that is why you call the guy that knows.

Either scavenged parts or wrecked.

waht??? the real TRD front lip is only $400!! that's like, 5x more $$ for the RS1??? :(

Not the lip... the whole front bumper cover/spoiler is different.

you sure? looks like a cheap imitation of the same thing to me..

No it's not.

The RS1.0 lip is different than the JDM one, however.

btw the side skirts for the genuine trd are $400 for the pair. so an RS1 side skirt for ONE SIDE is almost quadruple the price of TWO trd side skirts.

The RS 1.0 body kit is made by TRD Technocraft in Japan.

Here's some of the parts prices.

No both cars have the same front bumper cover only the front lower spoiler is different.

The FR-S RS 1.0 OP posted should look like my banana.

Wait till you find out that the TRD JDM and USDM rear bumpers are different, and the quad exhausts for the JDM rear bumper don't fit very well to the USDM RS 1.0......

I assumed that was a seam; not an overlap on the yellow section...

Oops! My bad.

totaled

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth, oem body kit prices are insane.

eh, it looks super clean without the lip and side skirts. i think it looks badass that way ^^ i would pick it up if you can get a good discount

fyi it seems like they also swapped out the turn signal indicators to white instead of the stock amber (and the tail lights arent stock either)

I'd definitely have the car checked out to see if it's been wrecked. Check the Hood, Trunk, Door and Fenders to make sure the Serial Numbers Match. Seats are original, can't tell the gauges (Orig has a Carbon Fiber look) and the shift knob has been swapped out.

I've seen this car, the owner sold off all of the parts before selling it. He was a member on the Texas FRS/BRZ Facebook page. Not sure why all the parts were sold but it's a genuine RS1.0 with pretty high mileage. He was laughed at for posting it for sale at the price he did with all the missing parts.

Another thing to check prior to purchase: make sure the headlights are OEM RS/Monogram with original OEM bulbs and ballasts (most likely Denso/Koito ballasts with Phillips D2S or D4S bulbs.)

Would hate to buy an RS only to find out the headlights were swapped for cheap Winjets painted like OEM and using some crappy Chinese PNP HID kit or the dim H7 halogen bulbs they stuff in there from the factory.

I have rs1 #1266. I will be putting it for sale on autotrader this spring. If u r interested, pm me and we can talk.

Good luck with that.....

They say "Curiosity Killed the Cat" well the death of Scion killed our resell value.

With the Scion brand gone I checked my value and it's not great with that said I have no plans to trade my car so I really don't care.

I had a trade in appraisal done on my RS 1.0 with 2,108 miles in excellent condition and the car's value is $20K.

This is a collector type car and i am in no hurry. If someone wants it then i sale. If not i keep. Pretty simple.
