You would never be able to buy the HID headlight package for under $1000. RS also gives you the color coded "ditch moldings" (instead of black) above the windows, and different tail lights.
I believe the RS package is reduced in price when you're buying the 2SS because it reflects the fact that you're already getting the 20" wheels with the SS package. So....its still another $480 for the polished wheels ($120 per wheel). Personally I feel that its a rip off...but I do want it.
I really don't see any other cheaper solution at this time. They know they have you in a tough spot due to the offsets of the wheel and the need to clear the big brembo calipers. It would probably be awhile before the aftermarket would have a cheaper solution.
