Default Who is RPI Designs anyway? Please step inside!

Hello!

A lot of you guys and gals know RPI Designs from the Corvette Forum or the car shows that we go to each year. But we thought it would be nice to show you who we really are and that we REALLY CARE about the Corvette community, so.....


RPI Designs, LLC was founded in 1998 with the idea of bringing innovative Corvette Parts and Accessories to the Corvette fan. We started very humble - out of a small 1100 square foot garage but have grown to a 13 team member corporation located at 142 Westville Lake Road in Beloit, Ohio.

We currently run operations out of an 8000+ square foot shop that we had custom built in 2011. In 2011 we decided it was time to fully invest in the American muscle car aftermarket, so we invested over $500,000.00 in our new shop and new product development. With our new shop came new product lines. You can now enjoy many parts and accessories for Corvette, Camaro, Challenger and Mustang.

Below are pictures of OUR ACTUAL SHOP. Not some pictures pulled from the internet, as some fly by night operations show on their websites. Please enjoy these pictures as you take a "virtual tour" of our location.

Front view of our shop, our show trailer and our 2010 GS.

Another front view of our shop.

Just another view.

Inside our "warehouse" part of the shop. Inventory, etc.

Our plastic cutting laser - used to design templates for new products.

Another view of our inventory.

View of our "Hydro Carbon Fiber" Room. Order hydro carbon fiber? This is where we put your pattern on your parts.

One of our paint room "prep rooms".

Shot of 2 of our new paint booths.

Another shot of a paint booth.

Parts in raw form, waiting to get painted or carbon finished.

Back shop area. Where parts are made.

Back shop area again.

Shipping room - this is where your parts ship from everyday.

Another view of our shipping room.

Our car show trailer - We load a bunch of parts in this trailer for each show.

One of our office rooms.

If you guys actually made it down to this part on the page, we would like to tell you we have a sale for the next 3 days. 12-15% off any order, simply enter coupon code RPI at checkout.

We are here to stay and will continue to try to innovate and design new products each month!

Thanks!
Josh

Awesome stuff....I'm actually looking to purchase some items, so this 12%-15% off is perfect timing.

Can you please tell us a little more about your Carbon Fiber products? I'm more interested in knowing what techniques your company uses? Do you use autoclave molding or other techniques?

Interested in knowing before placing my oder. Thank you!

RPI is legit folks. I recently ordered a set of side marker lenses for my car and when they got in I damaged one as I was trying to buff out some scuff marks from when they were manufactured. I got the marks out, but then dropped the thing which caused a 2 inch crack in the lens. One call to Josh and he contacted the manufacturer on my behalf, getting them to mail me a replacement lens…..free of charge!! I would highly recommend ordering from them and plan to do just that myself in the near future.
