Welcome! Pictures are always nice.
Wondering what color your is, and does yours have red outline door badges, same as what they used to use on Redline models? I seem to have a unicorn, I have not found anyone else with them from the factory on an RS. Mine is Iron Grey Metalic and the red really pops on the doors and elsewhere. You can buy these on Amazon relatively cheaply. I checked because someone tried to steal mine.

Hey, ricklack.. I agree that you have a unicorn, I also have never seen a non-redline edition model with those emblems. I wonder if someone ordered the car special, and then didn't buy the car for some reason? Can you even still special order a car these days?

It wasn't special ordered as this was during the pandemic. The dealers were notified which cars were being built for them and I was invited to pick from the list that were being built. Ironically, I had picked a different RS (they were only building RS at that time), but my old Nox gave up the ghost and I couldn't wait 2 months for mine to arrive. No one had reserved this one because it was about $8K more, as it was fully loaded. This was one of the first to be built when production began after the pandemic. It seems that someone at the factory just grabbed the wrong badges. But for me, they are the right badges
In hindsight, I think it all worked out well, as I love this one and not sure the more basic RS would have pleased me as much. It has everything my old Nox had, plus all the upgraded tech and features. I keep asking folks every now and then, but so far no one else has seen another RS with Redline badges. To me, all RS should have them as the red accent fits the RS theme - but I also think a Rally Sport (notice the RS ads don't use that phrase anymore?) should also have fog lights, but it wasn't an option. My salesman still teases me - he makes up a new story on how he is responsible for the badges every time I see him LOL.
