RKSport? Are you sure?

I emailed the guy at RKSport and he told me the ground effects on the car pictured in the link below were NOT made by RKSport. Are you positive that they are?

I am willing to bet they are DG Motorsports. Not positive but i don't know what else they could be.

Anyone who can give me a positive answer? I don't want to drop $500+ on them if they don't look the same.

I can totally see how it's confusing.. . . they REALLY look different from the front angle vs. a side angle...

but I can't figure out why RKSPORT doesn't think they make them ? ?

I agree that they do look different from the front as opposed to the side. The only thing I have to go off of is that the design of the front fascia looks the same on both. The guy at RKSport also didn't have any additional pics he could send me...now that's excellent customer service.

Yeah RK SPORT really does suck . .

The reason I think they are RK Sport is not only are they designed the same... but they can look slightly different depending on how you mount them. Some people don't use sticky tape to mount them, and so it looks different.

Also those silver pics I showed you are from overseas...and overseas camaro owners tend to buy alot of rk sport stuff..

Since I haven't heard too many good things about RKSport, do you recommend I go with another manufacturer? I like these ground efx the best, but are they quality?

Well,
RK SPORT makes a quality product, but they have been known to have high prices comparitively speaking, and their customer service obviously is lacking.

I would confront that Rk Rport rep that told you the kit wasn't his... and ask him.. what makes him so sure it's not his kit.

If that is what you want, just get it man. Don't let crappy customer service keep you from getting the parts you want. It's not like it's the owner, it's just some stupid employee.

Its probabaly the DG kit badged as a RKsport . I got their catalog once and it was stocked full of other companies products with the an RKsport name attached as well as a jacked up price ....nice
