    Default RT Transformation

    Joe and I spent the day in Utah finishing the transformation of a black 2015 RT Ltd into a Cognac and Black 2015 RT Ltd. The 14 had a bent frame and was replaced by the black 15 but our friend really liked the Cognac. He saw another two toned RT and decided that he wanted to do that with his.

    The pictures in this post are of the 15 that he is keeping.

    Here are a few pictures of the wrecked 14. I forgot to take a picture of the front of the other one.

    Very classic looking . I saw this type of work for the first time at Red Rock Spyder Rally and really liked it.

    If it was a red and white RT you saw the same one that our friend did. It isn't my style but he really likes it. The black RT with that Ultimate seat was super sharp to me but he liked the Cognac.

    Those are great combos thanks for sharing.

    They are are a little scary, kind of an abomination, will they call them Frankenstein?

    Yes it was the Red and White RT. It was so well done that I thought it was a factory option. I don't know that I could live with that color combo every day either but I really appreciated the work and imagination in creating it. And it did stand out.

    For me, personally, I've never loved the Cognac, but as a two tone I really like it. Now I want a two tone as well! Perhaps next time.

    Was that the one that had a bent frame when you tried to align it at the Hill Country Ride in Boerne, Tex? If not, how did this '14 get a bent frame? Any word on the resolution for the one in Boerne?

    Hi Ann,

    Re: RT Transformation

    As I posted once before in another thread, I think BRP should let buyers pick whatever colors that they want for each panel.

    After all, they are a simple change-out.

    This is very common in the parachute industry and does not cost anything extra, and does not delay any production.

    Just my $0.02, it worth what you paid for it,

    Great job, it looks sharp. Although, as previously said not my cup of tea, but then again, I'm partial to blue. Dale
