[edit] 2005 Scion tC RS 1.0 Enhancements
[edit] Limited Edition Color
For the 2005 Scion tC Release Series 1.0, Scion has introduced a limited edition color: Absolutely Red. This red is a bright, race car type red that really catches the eye. Absolutely red has also been available on the 2004 Scion xA RS 1.0. As with all Scion RS colors, it has not been available on any other models.
[edit] 18" Enkei Wheels
Special 18 inch Enkei wheels are featured on the RS 1.0 Scion tC. They are a light weight, seven spoke wheel featuring a Dark graphite finish. These wheels really set off the entire Release Series look, so consider this if want to have a unique ride.
[edit] Front Grille
The RS 1.0 Scion tC also features a special upper and lower front grille. The Scion's front grille features a dark graphite finish to similar to the special edition Enkei Wheels and adds a great contrasting look to the Absolutley Red paint scheme.
[edit] RS Badge
Each Scion tC Release Series vehicle features an individually numbered Release Series Badge. This shows which unit of the 2,500 RS 1.0 Scion tCs the car is and is a constant reminder of how unique this particular Scion is.
[edit] Badged Floor Mats
Special edition embroidered floor mats are also featured on the RS Scion tC's. Not a performance enhancement, but a very nice accent and another reason the RS models are envied by other Scion owners.
[edit] Door Sills
Aluminum door sill finishers add exta detail to the Scion Release Series tC. The brushed aluminum finish and sweet RS bubble logo add just the right highlights so when others get in your car they know it's special.
[edit] Color-tuned Interior
Special colored fabric seats are also featured on Scions Release Series vehicles. The tC RS 1.0 features red and black fabric seat trim to spice up the interior.
[edit] Color-tuned Strut Bar
One of the more prominent performance enhancements on the tC RS is the color-tuned front strut bar. This bar will help stiffen up the suspension and tighten up the handling so you can take those turns more aggressively and have confidence that the tC will handle it.
[edit] Color-tuned Oil Cap

[edit] Color-tuned Battery Tie Down
When you pop the hood, every detail counts. So Scion has added a sweet red color-matched battery tie down bar.
