What Is RK Sport? Brand Background and Where to Find Its Events
Updated
RK Sport (rksport.com) is an American aftermarket styling brand that describes itself as "America's Hood Company." It was founded by racer and race car builder RK Smith, and the company says it has spent decades creating hoods and aerodynamic body components for American car enthusiasts. If you want the brand's origin story, the About page is the place to start; if you want to know where the company appears in person, the site has a dedicated "RK Sport Shows & Events" section.
Where RK Sport came from
According to the company's own About page, RK Sport "was born and bred on the race track." It is described as the offspring of racer and race car builder RK Smith, whose track talent combined with his design and build skills produced "a decade of awards, championships, and accolades." The company says that background forged the philosophy and principles the brand was built on.
The homepage frames the same history in broader terms: founded on performance and design, RK Sport says it has spent decades creating hoods and aerodynamic body components that "complement the individuality of American car enthusiasts." Its stated positioning is that each hood lets a client finish a build as a personal extension of their life and lifestyle.
The site also carries the line "Performance Styling Pros for over 30 Years!" and a footer reading "RK Sport - Supplying Style for over 30 Years!" — so the "30+ years" figure is the brand's own claim rather than an independently verified date.
What RK Sport sells
The site's own description covers the product range: aftermarket hoods, spoilers, body kits, ground effects, splitters, diffusers, wings, engine dressing, and carbon fiber accents. Vehicle makes named on the homepage are Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, RAM, Toyota, and Pontiac.

Where to see RK Sport events
The homepage includes a section headed "RK Sport Shows & Events" with an "Upcoming Events" label, which is where the company posts in-person appearances. The homepage itself does not list specific dates in the material available, so the events section is the page to open for current show information.
For brand history and background, the "About RK Sport" page (linked as "Learn More About Us") is the primary source. The site's footer also links to Contact, Terms & Conditions, Shipping Information, Returns & Exchanges, and FAQ — useful if your question is about an order rather than the brand itself.
