Nice work on the body, but a bit excessive on the advertisments imo.

Is the scion evolution decal on backwards?

From the pics, it looks like you used some body filler to cover up the lip line?

It's nice. Looks like a kenstyle kit to me. A bit tooo overboard on the graphics. I'm not feeling that cf wing at all. To me it doesn't look right with our xA's. But hey good job on it.

its a kenstyle lip kit thats moulded flush. i got about 50 hours labor in the front and rear covers. it is a little more involved than just some body filler.

it started as a kenstyle kit. the graphics are supposed to be loud. the cf wing looks better in person than on the pics. thanks for saying good job though

A little too "loud" for me, much respect for "evolving" your RS1 XA.

the lip install was hell! i got about 50 hours into the front and rear bumper. i did all this in three weeks. ALOT of late nights. i used 3m 8115 adhesive, fiberglass, duraglass, bondo and finishing glaze. then, i primed, blocked, reprimed and reblocked. then paint and wetsand and rub. as for the stickers, they pay the bills.
