RKSport introduces our ground effects package, complete with front lower and rear canards, with side skirts. This newest addition will help you create an original  look that stays with the smooth lines of the C6 body and will not create a boxy profile. Along with the original design, the quality and fit of this kit is ensured by the fact that it is manufactured of high quality urethane helping you guard against damages that can be caused by everyday driving hazards.

   Ground effects is a term applied to a series of aerodynamic effects used in car design, which has been exploited to create downforce, particularly in racing cars. This has been the successor to the earlier dominant aerodynamic theory of streamlining. Employing ground effects to some extent is attractive, but worldwide, current design constraints are used to heavily limit the effectiveness of ground effects.

R.K. knows first hand with his extensive racing background that having ground effects on your car is an asset. When designing the RK Sport urethane ground effects kits, RKSport's engineers and designers primary focus was in three major areas, quality fabrication, optimal fitment, and distinctive styling. The result of this obsessive attention to detail is some of the best fitting, longest lasting, head turning body kits available for many domestic applications. All RKSport urethane front bumper covers are manufactured from only the highest quality urethane available for flexibility, durability and impact resistance, helping you guard against damages that can be caused by everyday driving hazards. The original aggressive body lines are incorporated into the design of each component creating smooth flowing styling. In most cases factory mounting locations are used for installation, and OEM style mounting hardware and detailed instructions for easy installation are included. Slight modifications might be required for some components.

In racing cars, a designer's aim is for increased downforce, allowing greater cornering speeds. This kind of ground effects is easily illustrated by taking a tarpaulin out on a windy day and holding it close to the ground, it can be observed that when close enough to the ground the tarp will suddenly be sucked towards the ground. However, substantial further downforce is available by understanding the ground to be part of the aerodynamic system in question. The basic idea is to create an area of low pressure underneath the car, so that the higher pressure above the car will apply a downward force.

   In 1990 and 1992, R.K. won two World Challenge titles in a Corvette. Finally, in 1993 with his experiences both on and off the track, he founded RKSport, Inc.
