RK Sport Solstice

OK I searched and didnt find anything on this.
I plan on ordering a turbo Solstice this summer. I was almost going to go with something else untill I found what RK has done with the Solstice.





I dont think the $695.95 price tag is to bad.

if the grill was moved up on the bumper about 6 inches like closer to where it is stock it would look a million times better

700 bucks for a front bumper and skirts seems pretty pricey to me, but i dont know it does look sick, but that car also has been lowered, nice wheels, brakes, spoiler, hood, interior, paint on the hood...

all i mean is it looks damn good, but it has been modded out to seel the kit, a regular solstice might not look as sexy, still a cool kit

I'd rather have a Sky.. Looks nice right from the factory.

i'd take either the sky or solstice. that one looks nice though. those cars aren't good for a big guy with kids coming in the next 2 or 3 years though...

I think the RK kit looks way better than the gravana. Matter of fact I almost hate that kit.

I know this isnt a practical car. but I dont care. I have an extended cab S10 for all my other needs. No wife or kids in my near future eather.
This car is my dream car in a sort of way. When I started my search I knew I wanted a smaller RWD convt. I drove a convertable Mustand for two years before I had my cavy. I miss having the top down. I also wanted something a little more grown up I guess you could say. I love S2000's but they cost to much and are smaller inside. A lot of owners I talked to say they dont like driving more than 2 hours in the S2000. The Miatas are to small for me.

The cavalier just dosnt do anything for me anymore. This is a car I can keep around for many years and be happy with.
Ive also decided to go ahead and try to find a reg 177 horse non turbo. After looking at the solstice forum I find that it will be hard as hell to get ahold one once they go on sale and Hahn already has made some great progress on a turbo kit for the reg model.

I like the skys alot but they cost more than I want to spend.

only thing i ever think of when buying a car with a turbo is that they require premium gas. southern cali right now premi gas is 2.89 and rising...

thats what caused my brother to get a Golf 2.0 instead of the 1.8T.





GO PATS!!!

Yeah gas is high in Houston also and we make the damn stuff. GO figure. and It will most likely be over a year before I would even think about the turbo upgrade. A nice intake and exaust will be it for a while as far as motor work goes.

You need to see the cars in person. From the pics I did think the RK car was better, but when I saw the Gravana car in person... wow. I'm not knocking the RK kit though, because I really did like that kit, too. Really, both kits impress me a lot. I think if it was for my own car I'd pick the Gravana. I love that RK hood though, I'd definitely want one of those.

the big thing i hate about rk's are the grill openings , they are WAY TO FREAKIN HUGE


the hood and the sides look good


then you get the wing , and it looks bad



gravana's fit the bill of a great looking well rounded kit , with out going over the top

I really like the tall holes in the RK bumper. But I just remembered that IN Texas I HAVE to run my front plate. There is no good way to mount my plate on that bumper.

On the Gravana I would be able to tuck it back in the middle opening just Like I do on my Cavy Avenger front.
But will the Gravana be urethane?


I am all that is man



Re: RK Sport Solstice

OK Help me out please.
Are there any more pics of the Gravana besides the ones in this post?

I can only find drawings on the Gravana site and it shows a rear bumper but the real car shots only show a stock rear.

I've been visiting dealerships for these the past week. On my way out to another one now. Seems like as it is, dealers are giving at least a $5,000 markup. I too am looking for white. Also, anyone who thinks $700 is expensive for a urethane, quality fitting body kit must really like fiberglassing and cracking kits.

and currently the car is out getting some other stuff done to it
