wth? contact accolade. Sorry you found out the hard way, but alot of the oz-rally guys have had fitment issues with there products.
Anways a foot of space is uncalled for, who the hell is making these parts? On there site, it says there products come with 100% fitment, I say get your money back and wait for quality products, there on the way!

Please email us at body-kit.com and we can advise the proper way to fit and install it...

hey,i just wanted to add that i have a body shop (advanced auto body) workin on my car and there one of the best in the state.Ive seen pro ball players escalades in there porches and a sh*t load of other bad *** rides go through there.They know what there doin.They removed the strut bar,and it still wouldnt fit.Its not rubbing either,its hitting the weather stripping or ( cal ) what ever you wanna call it.they put washers in it to help off set it and see if it would come a little closer and it barly did anything.

I was told about the fittment issue when I was going to order mine.It wasnt made to fit the Ralliart.The hoods are slightly different than the OZ in size and in height as we have a strut bar.I would have gotten it if My rental would have been a little longer so my body shop could install it correctly and make the proper adjustments.This is what Chris ( I think that was his name) told me would ba a possibility of happening.Accolade makes a great kit undoubtedly.. I just couldnt wait any longer for my car to be fixed from my accident.So I will be getting mine in a few weeks.I dont htink i like that hood much tho after I was coming from a club last night and some girl and her buddies yelled out EVO as I went by.. Its cool at first but it gets old real quick.I am just going to make a Carbon Fiber hood and use that to go with my Accolade kit.Follow Daves Advice and talk to them.They have a specific way of fitting the hood on the Ralliart and your shop may not be doing Accolades specific directions.
