Ahh, gotcha... I definitely love those tires. 
It sounds like if I'm getting the TRD exhaust and lowering springs anyways, it's not really that much extra for those tires and the red/black interior.
You mentioned getting the oem gfx kit... does this mean you can customize the rs5 with anything that can be put on the regular scion? I thought that was obvious but their website has nothing for customizing the rs5 at all.

Perfect, hopefully I can get the other interior additions I wanted as well (Blu-tooth). I spoke to the dealer and the closest one is in Michigan (we're in WV/PA) but he's going to see if there's any way to get it.

A RS5.0 is basically a standard tC with some external mods. It still has the same design, however, so you can do whatever you want to it. So to answer your question, yes.

Good luck on finding an RS5.0 cause they only made 2000 of them nation wide if you do decide on getting one. As for mine I'll be installing a lip kit come the spring/summer, its already sitting in my house

I already found one but it's about 250 miles away. The dealer is usually limited to 150-200 miles but it seems I might be able to get them to get it. :D

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help in this thread and I finally just got my car. Proud owner of #1065/2000. :D Unfortunately Scion doesn't make the ground effects kit (or the pedestal spoiler) for the RS5. You could have someone paint it but that's another story... the black on the RS5 is different than the black you can get on the regular Scions. The car still looks very sweet regardless though.
One other thing, I must say I think the (optional) interior blue lighting is rather cheap looking, especially for the price. I imagined it would be a part of the car that was replaced with a version that contained an embedded light but it's really just a light tube that you can get at wal-mart attached to the vehicle. The cup holder "lights" are just a single LED in each of the two cup holders.

for the interior lighting you are best off getting after market ones online. its cheaper and much better for you to diy. time consuming yet well worth it in the end. instead of having to pay like 250 or whatever at the dealer, u can spend about the same price and get more bang for your buck. i managed to get about 6 tubes and 25 leds for 90 bucks at http://www.oznium.com/
hope this helped
