It's also being discussed here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=206344

When I first heard that the RS would have a body kit it made my decision to wait for it null and void. Audio/video and the hope of a different color would have kept me on the hook, but gold and a body kit, no thanks. CSM it is for me, I wish we had a dark grey metallic choice.

I guess I'll go ahead and get silver (or maybe white) like I originally planned on. The body kit looks tacky, I'd rather get the Five Axis and skip the sun/moonroof. I don't really use it on my Max and did'nt use it much on my Exploder. I can paint the trim pieces inside myself, don't need a special numbered badge, and the seat fabric in those pics looks like flowers to me. I'm sure some peeps will like it and do cool things with it and more power to ya. I'll keep the extra $2500? and do my thing. I do kinda like the gold but I really wish they would offer a kickass red..not fire engine red but but a brighter candy-metallic type red. I think it would look sweet with the body lines but oh well.......

I know what you mean, the Barcelona Red on the xD would be great. Maybe they'll make it an 09 color?

That would be nice but I'm stuck with mine for quite a while so it doesn't matter much to me at this point. There's no way I'll ever get another aftermarket sunroof after the many problems I had with the one installed in my gen 1 XB.

I agree with that too. It was my first color choice when playing in Photoshop.

Yeah Magnetic Gray Metallic would be a very classy color for the xB.

The RS 5.0 makes me very happy with my CSM.

I like Sunroof, Color and obliviously the limited factor.

Will have to wait and see in person about the Kit.

I agree with ChspkScion will probable see Sunroof as a 09 option.

Nice photoshop work Chadfo. Personally I think the green and orange look like exotic poisonous frogs (and even with a moniker like CIONIDE I don't like them),
but that dark metallic gray is awesome! That would be a great color for a repaint somewhere down the road (no pun intended, really). Lovin' my CSM for now.

They should have atleast put some decent wheels on it. C'mon how are you gonna have a limited edition RS with hubcaps . The color is too yellow not enough gold. The only thing I do like on it is the sunroof but I can live w/o that.

i've got a sunroof, and it's awesome....

that body has added more fake vents to the rear... too busy of a body design for me.
