Default Anyone with pics of RKSport Sport back?



Anyone have one of these on their Camaro or Firebird? I'm not sure if I like it, and am almost 99.9% I'll never buy one but I do think it's unique and would like more pictures of a car with this on it. Specially a Firebird.

It's called an RKSport Sport Back. Some older Trans Am's had a sport back on them and they were awesome. I also wonder what this looks like looking through it from the inside of the car. I wonder....

It was called the notchback on the 80s GTA TransAm's

And here are some pics of the RK sport Sport back.

Alright since theres a thread about this already, its motivated me to come up with something for my vert based on this piece.

How does this stay connected to the car?

I would like to see it on a Base/ Formula firebird. Or maybe even on a TA with the Iroc firehawk spoiler (6LE I'm still waiting on you guys to make a knock off of it lol)

Bird - Yes (MAYBE), and Camaro - No (ABSOLUTELY). Personally I would never do this to my car as I think it looks pretty ricer. To each their own I guess.

The white birds mine the white birds mine!!! LOL Its funny how everyone hates it, but people see mine and like it! Seeing out of the back? BAD but was it good before? besides i have a rear view camera. But the window comes out, with the tops off, its just like a roadster!!! best thing about it! Cars a work in progress and dirty so don't hate. OP-any specific pics you want just ask!

Also mine is molded on, makes a huge difference! Those lines for the weather stripping really ruin it!

heres a pic from the side for comparison

LoL gee it's about time you posted some better pics of your car lol!

Yeah I like it. But I would still like to see it on a base bird hatch or a TA with the Iroc firehawk spoiler. (6LE I'm still waiting on a knock off firehawk Iroc Spoiler!!!!)

looks a lot better on a TA than a camaro that's for sure. I still love the way the stock hatches look on our cars though.

Bumping an old post for 1 question. Is the window in that Sport Back real glass or some type of Lexan?
