Could care less if its jdm evo oem front or accolade front. The car deserves its props and archie deserves a salute for having good taste.

It looks good but it's a damn shame that he couldn't just admit that it is a knockoff and the seller blew up his spot....hahahahaha that's great!
But like I said that does look hot even though he was trying to fake the funk and say that it was real!

It's the real deal man, imported if from Japan The pictures that are posted is not the Accolade bumper. This is the two piece JDM front bumper with the lip.

I contacted Accolade and they sold me their last remaining front bumper. However I was debating if I should keep it or sell it since the fitment of the bumper has some minor gaps in the headligts and its not as close as OEM fit as the JDM one.

If anybody is interested in buying my Accolade IX Front please PM me with an offer. It has a small crack on the lip I'm not sure if the crack happened during shipping or it was already cracked, comes unpainted of course. PM me I will email you some pictures of the front bumper.

Thanks

sorry to hear what happened. I would be pissed if my bumper came cracked. I just got my JDM OEM 9 rear bumper for $US 200 If you search around you can get them cheap in japan.

I got my front bumper on Tuesday. VERY well packed, absolutely no damage whatsoever. I did a quick test fit today. Spent maybe 45 minutes removing the stock bumper, drilling a couple of holes, and fitting it up. I am completely blown away with the fit of this bumper. Without any tweaking at all, the holes lined up, it fit right over the bumper support, and the undertray lines up as well. The pictures in the link were taken with only the two bolts in the core support and the bolts in each wheel well. As you can see the thing fits like stock, which it should seeing as it looks like it was molded from a factory Evo IX bumper.

The crack is not that noticable and not that big, its a small crack on the bottom part of the lip that goes to the front of the lip.

Like I said it's not that big of a deal for me, you can hardly notice it.

Accolade makes good parts and for the price you can't beat

First of all I dont care what 2 of your customers said. You came here and told me to read this thread which I did. Eventually you were wrong and thought he used your bumper. And now your trying to show me another thread about your customers testimonial? Did I ask for it? Im just replying to your comment on what you said that you wish I was reading this, and yes I am reading this and saw what problems he had. sorry for the OT guys, lets get back to the JDM bumpers

Thanks man

It's realy worth it to buy OEM JDM parts for you car, you can't go wrong with them

It's pricey but it's all worh it. When you get to see the parts installed on the car everyday you forget about the amount of $ you spent on it
