i was wondering about that one 2!

qwik99gt · 11-05-2003, 10:25 PM

I have 4 pics of the car from SEMA. The rear bumper where the mesh is located has been fixed. Do I know how? No. But it appears to be all black plexi or fiberglass with a black mesh insert. It looks very nice. The overall kit isn't my taste, but the fit and finish were above average for a SEMA rush job. I would post the pics but the filesize is too large and I'm too lazy to load them on Imagestation tonight. See you tomorrow.

Just returned from SEMA. (I do have a job ya know) The body kit and other mods were well recieved. All in all every one seemed to like it.

A few of the GM designers really liked it. Hell they even have it selected it for a design award! We'll see if RK Sports efforts come through.

As for comments posted about the kit being "just" two more peices. Yes and no. It's actually four different pieces. The two door doors are differnt than the front two on the four door.

Molds are expensive! I'm guestimating that RK will spend about $60K in urethane molds for both 2 & 4 doors. Not to mention labor etc etc.

I'm hoping that it will return with some awards.

Vintalage · 11-06-2003, 02:58 PM

That's pretty cool. That's very good news. Did gm tell you anything about tails and headlights?

11-07-2003, 01:23 PM

What about the tails and head lamps???

The heads are stock and the tails are RK Sport Exclusives from what I understand.

They purchased some rediculous number of them. Something like 800 pair and have sold almost half of those.

AaronGTR · 11-07-2003, 05:13 PM

Yeah, my tail lights should be coming soon. They told me they wouldn't charge my credit card until they shipped, and there was a charge on my card this monday, so that means I should get them either tommorrow or monday. So it's a race boys. Who can get them on their car, take pics, and post them on the site first?

Can't wait until I get my body kit.

Well the official word is that RK Sport recieved a lot of compliments on the GA but no awards.

Though there has been talk about my GA going to Canada next year for some major car shows in Montreal and Toronto.

A lot of kits have been pre-ordered through them which is good. Jump on it and order your quick. The 2 door will be done in about three weeks from what I hear.

iceman · 11-12-2003, 05:22 PM

Get them to work on stuff under the hood too

Sternie · 11-12-2003, 06:45 PM

Sergio49 · 11-13-2003, 02:06 PM

I have some pics from the SEMA show, I was in too much of a hurry to take more. I have a few more pics of the Blue GM Grand Am also, along with about 200 other pics. I'll post those later if anyone wants.
