Again the only way you will be able to get in on this is to make contact by PM with myself.

There have been several people that have participated in this buy so far, it is going really well. If you are still interested please let me know and we will get you going on the buy. And remember that I will take NO monies from you, ALL payments will be made directly to RKSport!!!

There is still time, let me know if anyone is inerested.

I dunno about anybody else, but I'm still waiting to see some 4-door pics. Even something like that second pic (way back on page 1), where I could get an idea of how it would look. I know its too late by far to get in on the pre-order, but it will take time for me to save up that kind of money. I'm willing to pay extra from something I really like... and I really like how this kit looks on the 2-doors. I've already started saving, but I like to see what I'm buying first.

The four door kit's coming out after the two door so they probably don't have any pics yet. It's probably still in the mock up stage. It should be pretty much the same as the two door though. Slightly different rockers and two shorter door pieces instead of one long one (hence the price difference). Bumpers will be the same.

Robotix

Just wanted to drop a quick note...I have talked to RK again and the prebuy for us is still happening, If you are still interested let me know by a PM and I will get you in.

Alright boys and girls……………Here we go one more time……and the last time………..I have been in negotiation with RKSport for the last week and have got us a solid commitment on the last extension that there ever will be for the body kits. I have been given one more MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have been impressed with the sales and this is what we have been trying to do………show them there is an interest in aftermarket GA parts and damn did we show them. The only absolute way that you will be able to get in on it now is you MUST run your order through me.

This is a painless process and I take care of all the leg work for you, just ask manogagt from Grand Am Owners Club and he will tell you that I will get you taken care of !!!!! He had run into some accounting errors at RK and I took care of him and fixed his prob.

But anyways………one more month is what I have for everyone just PM me and I will get you set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought you had the actual photos? You don't even know what the actual 4 door kit looks like. Look at the GXP and look at the RK Sport 2 door kit. You will see the differences.

I did a search on the internet for gxp concept & yes that is what the charcoal colored car is but the body kit is very similar to just get an idea of what the rksport kit might look like on a 4 door

just wondering everyone two questions:

1.) how far does the front end stick out from the hood??? the front and back are just covers , not actual replacements for the stock facias

quote from RKsport "Actually, the front, as well as the back are bumper covers, just a lot
cleaner looking"

2.) do you guys think that the mesh that comes with the rear to fill in those big rectangular holes will cover up any fram or body that is showing?


thanks

thanks :rolleyes: .....any body kit you ever get are bumper covers. That's what a fascia is, a bumper cover. The bumper is inside.

Trudgy thought that the rksport fascia covered up over the stock fascia.
Which made no sense in either of our minds.
We figured it all out over msn.
But still, the question of how much extra lenght is added to the car would be nice to know.

But still, the question of how much extra lenght is added to the car would be nice to know. The kit hasn't arrived at anyone's house yet, so you'll have to ask the guy in Cali who had the first prototype, or ask RKsport for measurements.

AaronGTR
01-23-2004, 05:21 PM
Correct, the "bumper" is actually behind the cover. Correct term is "fascia". The new front fascia looks a little longer and more angled (sorta reminiscent of a '96 camaro IMO) so it probably sticks out farther than the stock one. Also, the kit doesn't come with any mesh, they just put that in there on the show car. You can put in anything you want or leave it empty. Shipping should start in about two weeks, and I was one of the first to order one, so I'll let you guys know how it looks when I get mine.:thumbs:

Just to let you all know the front sticks out approx 5 more inches than stock.

Well ladies and gentlemen I am sorry for what I am about to say, due to misinformation from RK Sport the two door pre sale will end tomorrow evening!!!!!!!! The four door will be still going on though.

I want to apologize for this miscommunication from them, as you all know I have tried to keep you all informed of every movement with this buy but there was a major break down on this one. The two door kits will begin shipping in approx. one week if everything goes to plan.

If anyone has any questions please let me know.

Mano yours will not be shipping for a little bit, they are still waiting on the panels.........also they ship in order of your order.....for example one person is sixth in line for a hood and they are average two hoods a week just to let you know.

Aaron Miller. I ordered sometime in the last week of october. Not really sure what number I was, but it was pretty early. I'm sure they are just having the normal shipping delays that happen with these things, but if you want to check that's cool. Thanks.:)

Ok you guys sorry for the delay, Kevin you are second on the list and Mike you are 3rd and Kyle yours should be shipping next week. Now Mike and Kevin they are finishing the side skirts as we speak so they should be shipping next week for both of you. The cold weather put a damper on the process but it is good now.

As you all get pictures you need to post them for me and if you have ANY problems let me know so I can help you all out.

They will take very little prep work at all, they have done extensive work on the kits and they are the best fitting that have EVER been produced, all that is necessary for the most part is getting it ready for paint!

I wonder this:

say that this new kit (RKsport's) was what the GAGT's come with stock and GM made our stock kit and introduced it at a auto show. Then RKsport came along and created this one for us.

Do you think that everyone would be hyped up to buy the stock kit like they are today over the Rksport kit.

??????? just some thought that was flowing?????

I just called rksport and talked to my sales guy. He said all the final fitments for the kits are done and they're just waiting for them to get in from their factory so they can start shipping. Should be sometime this week, and he said mine was the first order on the list, so it will be the first to ship.:D Man this is driving me nuts, I can't wait to see it!

How do you think the Razzi spoiler and SD hood would look with this kit? My car is spruce green metallic.

Oh, and about how much can I expect to pay to have this thing painted and installed?

You'll really like that hood.

I know they can do it. The one on my car is Carbon Fiber! So is the wing!

Not sure what they cost but when I was up there yesterday the sales manager said they did material studies and it looks as if they are going to offer all of their hoods with a Carbon Fiber option. So I would say "YES!"

That's normal with the bumper. Mine's like that too, the sides are bent inward slightly. They do that so when you put it on the car it fits tight to the sides without any bulges. It's not a problem since the material's so flexible.


As for the engine what are you taling about 3.5L?:wtf And are you sure you threw a rod? I'd be sure before I started looking for a new engine.

I have to take out my engine and find out exactly, I am almost positive it was a rod. I want to get the chevy malibu 3.5L engine in my car sometime in the future, and since I wont be able to drive my car for awhile, I was hoping if anyone had any incite on this. Sorry to be off topic.

Update on 4-door RK kit. I called and talked to Mike this morning. He said that they are having a problem with some of the door panels not fitting properly and they don't want to start shipping until they get the problem worked out. He said it could be as long as a month, but for me to keep checking back, if could change.

Here is what they said to me...

Adam,



We are still a few weeks out on the kit. The front and rear are done. The side lower is real close to being finished and the molds are being finalized for the door panels.



Thanks,

Another month !!!!!!!! goodness i understand wanting to fix thing's that are wrong with a product your making ,but the way i look at it they have had plenty of time to do that. It's like thair only spending an hr on it each day........ Well atleast it's worth the wait. espicaly to get it at a cheaper price. Im not really mad i just think it should be done by now.

I was supposed to have mine in by the April 10th ImportLifeTour.com event. Yet they pushed it back so it will not be done on time.

You guys have to remember, they did the 2dr kit first. And that was pushed back quite a bit too. For the 4dr they needed to find another car for fitting, then they had to make, test, and perfect 6 new molds for that car. This really shouldn't be unexpected.

Well, I am not mad at the time it will take to get to me. I am mad at the fact that they told me it would be done in plenty of time for my event. Now they think it will not be done on time for the event. I would rather they tell me the truth then try to please me with a date that is inconsistent with the fact.

like i said in my post i also am not upset with it taking a long time the only thing that upsets me is the fact that thair customer service suck's,and they are hard to get ahold of.

I can understand that some of you are upset with not having your kits before "X" show or date. But as stated above they will not produce "crap". If you only knew how long it takes to make a mold and then lay up the one part only to find out it's a 16th of an inch off here or there and then have to re-do the mold, then lay up a new part, let it cure and start over fitting it up. It takes days not hours to do. Be patient with them as they are also doing three other cars as this is being posted. The new GTO, and two others that I cannot mention.

I can tell you it will look just as sweet as the two door!

PS. How are you trying to get a hold of them? I can reach anyone at anytime unless they are out of the office. (???)

the best things come to those who wait........ and I don't mind.

I've been in contact with Mike and he is very helpful and always said to give him a call at anytime.

AaronGTR

Exactly, I never had a problem getting a hold of my sales guy.

Trust me, when you guys get your kits you'll be impressed with the quality. It'll be well worth the wait.:)

I should be getting most of mine painted and installed next week. I have to leave the passenger side rocker off though until I get the rear quarter panel fixed. Waiting for some good weather so I can work on my car outside. Stupid rain!:(

Well i wan't to get excited that it's gonna be sent out soon but, every time i do they set it back another week. So if that's a true statement then that's Awesom. I might be able to get my kit on and painted before my first show of the year. Everybody that care's about the kit coming out cross your finger's (or pray for, if that's your thing) that this is the last set back. Later yall


O and depending on when i get mine I could also be the first to have 4dr pic's (painted). but im probly close to last in line to recive it.

I was told the kit should be ready at the end of this month. I was also told that a lot of people droped there sells for the 4-door kit since they did not want to wait. I hope it will be done soon since I have set up an appointment for the paint work.
