Does anybody here have the RK5 Rear Facia? Looking for some feedback.
I'm interested in the quality of fit. I would also like to know if it has a nice smooth finish with no wrinlkles or low spots, since it's urethane you can't level sand the surface like fiberglass. I don't want to mount a wavey POS on my car. My hopes are that it has the same finish quality as the OEM rear facia.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this subject.

IM4, at least one of the members has done it, I just can't remember who. I went with the RK spoiler (my first mod) and the fit and finish is very good. Looks great from the rear but a little 'add on' fron the side. If I had it all to do over again, I would go with the full RK rear facia like you're considering.

Does the rear look OK w/o anything else? From the picture it would seem to me that side skirts or front end would have to be enhanced to pull it off. Hard to tell though from the pic.

Yes, I'm planning on a different manufacture side skirts and undecided at this point on front air dam or entire front end choice (a couple in mind).

I don't know... looking at how deeply inset the license plate and lights are, it looks like you'll be adding atleast 6 inch in length to the rear of the car. It could look unbalanced and aren't these cars long enough as it is?

This is what mine looks like...

Hope that helps

I'm not sure, but I think I heard that you might have to change the exhaust to fit the RK facia. Something to check out anyway.

Javelin, One more reason I'd like to hear from someone that owns one. I sent them an email asking for a full side photo.

Mike, Nice shot of the wing.

CarToys, I'm aware of the fact the exhaust will have to be changed. Thinking of Corsa Ti Comp system. May have to modify the exit to fit RK facia.

Still no one with this rear end????

Don't have the rear but just got the RK5 Ram Air Hood. The quality was very good compared to other hoods I've seen for different cars.

Not sure what you're looking for in the facia mod but Baron has the Specter Werkes rear facia on his and it looks very cool to me. Just a thought. Good luck on the hunt.
