    I have a ton of parts to order and obviously I am looking for the best prices. I have checked both of their websites and ebay pages. Their prices are different on both. RPS prices are better, but AK has a larger selection of what I need. Anyone know if AK will price match with RPS? The order is around $1000 so any savings will help, price matching, combined shipping etc. I hate to be picky but I am on a budget and getting laid off in about 3 weeks so money is an issue. Long story..Anyways. LMK Thanks for your time. Brian

    if you contact RPS, ask to speak to Tony. he is the GM of RPS and can help you. there are several authorized RPS dealers such as myself so to save on shipping, just contact your closest dealer for shipping information and such. :)

    here's some details on contact information and dealers:

    Not looking for suspension parts. I need all weatherstripping, carpet, dash overlay, headliner, visors, package tray, window door seals etc. Anyone make the quarter window seals? I haven't seen any anywhere. Thanks Brian

    I think Auto Krafters has a "gold club" or something like that you can join to get savings.

    Check RPS first,Tony or the RPS dealer rep for your area will take care of you.Remember most of the parts Autokrafters carries come from other sources.RPS can usually get you what AK can and as you noticed RPS tends to be cheaper.
