Still waiting on it becoming available in Hawaii. I have to wait for all of the islands to get theirs for their dealerships before I can purchase mine. Got my Navy Fed Check in the mail for the loan....and I'm drooling over it in anticipation. This will be the first brand new car I've ever bought.

I need to see one of these in person still. I would have probably picked yellow if it was offered for the Monogram.

I love the way your car sits....
The ones that came with my TC RS 7.0 were quite nice. Could've been less mandatory replacement :P




Some things I'm planning for the RS 1.0 and have ordered already are front, rear and steering wheel badges, door entrance light projector, center caps, led dome light, fog lights and yellow fog light covers and 5% rear + 30% side window tints.

Performance will be left stock for now, any suggestions for which exterior mods would change the car's appearance most?

So your going to make a Scion into a Toyota..??




What makes the Release Series 1.0 unique is it's a limited number Scion not sold anywhere else in the world.

I didn't know people had felt strongly about this but I think a few badges wouldn't make the car indistinguishably still a RS 1.0. There is still the centre console badge if ever authenticity is necessitated. In the end, it's just my slight personal direction in ambiguity and distinguishing myself from the 1500. Sorry to repulse those who take offense. Do you all feel similarly to those who rebadge their 10 Series and Monograms as well or just RS?

No offense taken just my opinion.




BTW I owned the RS 7.0 also.

It doesn't but some people just have a personal preference.

The TRD kit was easy on the eyes with its clean fitting and color-match weather stripping to hide any gaps. The exterior has already been done by Toyota (thumbs up Toyota!). As for performance, suspension, and the rest - I happily reverted back to modified whiteout. To the future owner of this yuzu or any of the 1500 available, congrats!!


I test drove that same FRS this morning.

As far as mine goes, it apparently is getting some kind of a delay in the freight, so while I am still patiently waiting for it to get here, I am getting my other shopping done like buying the wheels and intake.

To all new RS1.0 owners - congrats!
