    Bleh, it's just an aesthetic modification base.

    Body kit, grill, spoiler, interior design, shift knob etc.

    No performance modifications. Not my taste at all.

    If you're going to build or race your car, SPEC model ftw.

    There are some variations to be aware of.

    The SPEC model has no moon roof, cruise, or rear reclining seats, or passenger window control.

    Which in a racing sense is great, cause it cuts out dead weight from the car, but you lose some comfy features.

    Also, when you get your SPEC, be sure to look into some rims, cause the SPEC is going to be coming with a set of steelies.

    Yeah, those rims are going to be heavy. You are going to want to change them out.

    They are the traditional, normal steel wheels with hubcaps.

    They come like that, because they know any tuner with a decent head on their shoulder would never tune with stock wheels.

    i honestly dont think the spec is worth it you lose too much stuff and what you save like 1000 bucks ??? no body on here is a race car driver so no body is really building a race car. i say pay the extra and get all the luxuries you can !!!you will be glad in the end. and plus chicks dig moon roofs : )

    Has the look and feel of the RS2.0; not much. They dropped the ball on this one. I am dismayed. Hey carboncrazytc, I can't believe that a fellow RS3.0 owner missed this one; the number badge is on the dash and not under the steering wheel

    Nothing beats the RS1.0 for overall value (more options for the money) or the RS3.0 for sheer darn looks.

    Yep, I might have to do that for my Son. He was like, "What the heck is the point of that. You can't even see it.". I will pass this suggestion on to him.
