Many of us have purchased their shorty black aluminum antenna for C5/Z06. I thought it was fairly priced and was shipped quickly. They're very courteous and friendly on the phone.

I have recently purchased their C5 door bars and I must say that I was more impressed with their work before ordering from them!!! I have been through two sets of door bars. The first set looked as if they were painted with a spray paint can and didn't line up with the door latch, the second set was sent to me with TOO much powder coating and had to be ground down, and they too did not line up properly with the car. I was impressed with their work until ordering from them. I just hope they make good on my issues, and I will be happy.

Hey Joe, have you had any luck with R-D Racing? Mine do not fit like they should either. When I hook mine to the car, and go to close the door, it is as if the bar needs to be bent in more???? Not sure what to do???

I bought a harness bar and 5-point harnesses from them almost 3 years ago and had a great experience. Great products at great prices. I think they have gone through some ownership/management changes since then, so YMMV.

I purchased a Shorty Antenna, Camber Brace and Harness Bar a few years back. If I'm not mistaken, company ownership changed hands in the past year or so...could have something to do with it.

Yes I am on my third set of Door Bars. R-D does not make me pay for each set they have sent me, but the fact that they do not fit is the irritating part. I am not sure why they are not fitting. But I will take pictures of them on the car and send them to R-D so they can see for themselves just how off they are.
