actually they do serve a purpose they are there to reduce drag under the car - in race cars anyway
i love the new kit so far
if i have time i'll try and paint the car in photoshop

The whole kit is not finished yet. They are still tweaking the "look" of some of the parts.

What you currently see on my car is virtualy foam and clay. That is not even close to the finished product.

They are pre selling the kits only up until the molds are finished.
The pre sell price is $700. It will retail for $1000. The four door is to be a little higher. Anyone with a four door that lives in the So-Cal area is encouraged to call if you can leave your car with them for 3 weeks to have the skirts for it done. If interested give them a call. 800-214-8030.

I will post more picts as they allow me to take them.

My car is currently in the shop for about 4 weeks getting a different set of sideskirts done. However, I would be more than interested in helping you guys out with a 4-door test fit car if need be. Just keep me updated if no one steps up by then!

10-13-2003, 06:01 PM

Give them a call.

Racecrafter: Correct me if I'm wrong but since the bumper covers are primed on your car dosen't that mean at least those molds are complete?

Pucci · 10-13-2003, 07:09 PM

OK....you got a price on the kit......what about the wing. That is killer and exactly what I am looking for. Whats the estiment on that.

kubiache · 10-13-2003, 07:15 PM

Yeah I am suprised at how much I like that spoiler. It'd be real nice if it can somehow fit into both stock holes...the way it is looks like it may be in the rear holes only.

10-14-2003, 11:54 AM

To get more answers on the kit you should really call RK Sport.

I can tell you this though. The spoiler on the deck covers all the factory holes.

ALL of the pieces on this car are HAND MADE. Complete magic by their body sculpter. There is no mold of any kind yet. That is what their "Pre-sale" is all about. When the molds get finished no more pre sale price.

And from what I understand, the hood and spoiler will be done and ready by December.

I will try to get down to RK Sport in the next week or so for updated pics. The car is going to SEMA in a couple of weeks so it will be done before then.

dahvaio · 10-14-2003, 02:42 PM

Where or when do we have the option to pre-order the kits?

Thanks,
David

This is the new Grand Am kit that we are working on. I should be done
by
the end of the year. The new ram air hood and wing will be done before
the kit. We are taking pre orders for the kit at $695, that is pricing
as of now for both kits. When we have the kits in stock the price will
rise to about $1000. The new euro tail lights we are expecting in by
the
end of the month. The colors we are receive will be the chrome and the
black. We can special order C/F, but I do not have a time frame on how
long it would be to receive them.
Chad

It comes with the front and rear bumper covers, both side shirts, and
matching door panels... They have not set a date for the end of the
pre-sale.
Chad

I urge all of you who want this to pre order it.
I know I am probally at the end of this month

Later
Randy

izayn · 10-15-2003, 09:23 AM

Here's a better pic of the spoiler

izayn · 10-15-2003, 09:58 AM

earlier I asked this question to Chad:

Do you guys need the pre orders to get this kit into
production or is it going to go it to production no
matter what?

Also is the hood going to look like the hood off of
the hotwheels concept or is it going to be something
else.

He replied saying this:

No the new kit is already scheduled for full production. The pre-order
is a way for you to be guaranteed a kit, within the first few runs. The
longer you wait, with the pre order, the long you will have to wait for
the kit. Also you are able to take advantage of the pre-order price. As
for the hood, what I have been told is that it will resemble the stock
ram air hood, more then the hot wheels hood. Give me a call if you are
interested in the per order.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I tried to get pic's of the car today but it has been all torn down to start the mold process and my car is off to the paint shop with the pre-production parts for the SEMA show.

I will try to get pictures put up of the finished car before it goes. Baer has stepped up with brakes and Ronal is supplying the wheels.

The molds will be started ,according to them, right after SEMA. And from what i understand once the molds are done the "pre-sale" deal ends. So place your orders.

The four door also will be started right after SEMA. Another local GA owner is "donating" his car for that process.

10-23-2003, 04:11 PM

OK here is some more info since I see some mis information.

First; The two door kit is $700 pre-sell and will sell for $1095 retail

The four door kit will pre-sell for $800 and retail for $1295.

The hood is pre-selling for $450 and retailing for $595.

The spoiler is ONE piece that will bolt directly into the factory holes. It is pre-selling for $250 and retail is $350.

Second; It's a show car that will be at SEMA in Ronal Wheels' booth. So if you go stop by and check it out.

I hear that it is supposed to be out of the paint booth by Tues-Wed. I will try and sneak some pics to post by Thurs.

10-24-2003, 01:54 PM

Two questions.

Will this kit fit on a SE.

Is the pre sale kit the same body kit as the production?

AaronGTR · 10-24-2003, 02:52 PM

I'm sure it will fit an SE because all body parts are interchangable between SE's and GT's. The kit will be the same. The distinction of "pre-sale" and "production" just means that the final kit isn't finished yet and you can order the kit before it's done for a discounted price. After the production molds are finished and the kit officially goes on sale the price will rise.

10-28-2003, 04:35 PM

Until the molds are done. From what I hear it should be right about the end of November.

On another subject.........

It's out of the paint shop and back at RK Sport!!

I'm headed down there right now to take a look at it even though they say it needs to be "put together".

Pics maybe posted by tonite!!!!

10-30-2003, 01:10 PM

HERE IT IS!!!

10-30-2003, 01:12 PM

Another look.

PontiacGT2K · 10-30-2003, 01:56 PM

Is it just me, or is that hood CF?

Kdawg207 · 10-30-2003, 01:57 PM

i'm not sure...but i'd say it's just you

looks like a regular sc/t hood to me
