hehehe,well, im going to try and upgrade my oil cooler in a few weeks and the other im going to try and make a air box of some sort to funnel into the air filter....

:-) think it should work out quite well

 

hey designmanfx, pm me if you want a sheet of real carbon fiber twill.. I will hook you up for free.

 

no need for a flame suit man. :-)
i think its the angle cuz i was jumping aroung snapping so i dunno wasnt checking the middle... it loooks okay to me, and trust me im very picky about my **** soooo... i dunno

u think i should change the color of the car to match the bumper?? HAHAHAHAH i think ill pass. the bumper is like a sunflower yellow but i think it has to do with the lighting, makes the stock yellow look more pale.

the rest ill let you know more as i proceed.... this is a complete new setup...manifold.. i/c ...i/c piping etc.. so we'll see

 

Might as well put them to work, good ideas though. I'm not a fan of body kits either, maybe because my car is 13 years old....but anyway not a fan of kits but yours looks good, don't let stray prarie dogs run into that intercooler and go bulldogs.

 

Not bad...



Although... here's a minor change.

 

hehee , nah im okay, but thanks. i have a few bits of 3x3 and 6x6.. they are just big enough to make an emblem.
However, if i decide to make that airbox below to feed air, can i take u up on that offer?

heheh

 

not this again dont change the mid-piece designmanfx.. I like it the way it looks now.

 

ehehe now do a billet grille.... hehhehe

 

i dont intend on it.

I like it, keeps flow of factory lines and design but hit them hard with the huge IC smiling :-)

 

sure thing.. just let me know because I have them in stock. again this the real twill not the vinyl

 

wasnt refering to the vinyl spanky


hey got any resin i can use that for sure!!!!!

 

people are quick to knock on your kit because everyones heard nothing but negative things about Accolade and just because these people hear things about something they straight believe it with out experiencing it...IMO i think everyones being **** about fitment issues with Fiberglass...there will always be some bad fitment issue some how from an aftermarket kit and from what i see from the images that bumper fit pretty snug onto there...second you people shouldn't expect perfect fitment fiberglass bumpers unless its a f*in corvette especially at prices you guys are looking for! exact OEM fitment fiberglass like Kaminari comes at a hefty price. also...who the hell said JDM bumpers fit like a glove??? when i worked at a local shop here we used to get JDM kits by special order all the time for our customers NISMO,TOMS,MUGEN,CWEST, RE Amemiya now ok yeah i agree their quality is very present in the kit but fiberglass is fiberglass when it hardens from its cure process it tends to shrink so a main plug can end up being junk because the guy that made the mold for got to measure out the plug so all the copy kits that make out of it come out in a decent fit. anyway i have some pictures of REAL JDM aftermarket FRP kits and have had minimal to serious fitment issues...just because its JDM doesn't always mean its better.

from what i've been seeing lately is that Accolade is trying to fix things as much as possible...and yes they are slow at it but what do you expect if your trying to deal with people half way across the world? especially if they are all *****ing at you at the same time. so dont be so quick to judge about things that you've heard about unless you've actually experienced the same problem with that certain product.


anyway onto the kit...when i first saw it on the site they didn't have it installed on a car yet and just seeing it sit there on a white background made it look nasty...until i saw these pictures especially since its installed on a similar color car [btw i agree color match it to the US EVO Yellow not that yellow] but now that i see on your ride with that sweet lookin carbon hood i had second thoughts and the fitment on that kit is snug just right...but one thing still bothers me about the kit...its the fact that accolade dropped the front bumper by like 1-2inches which seems to give you less room to lower your car for any suspension tuning...

oh yah you do know you can buy carbon/kevlar or carbon fiber tape? right? its real carbon-kevlar/carbon fiber single layer with an adhesive[sp?] backing perfect for your logo idea...also dont get rid of that triangle in the middle although im not a big fan of it on stock evo's/mitsu's to be exact but it gives it that MITSU look...so no-ones gonna mistake it for a mustang or a riced out honda accord its also good to keep it there for structural purposes the rest of the grill doesn't seem thick enough to hold on its on...its possible that if you do take out the triangle in the middle that the rest of the upper half of the grill which is covered by the hood will warp from all the heat from the environment and the pressure put upon the bumper.

enough ranting good luck with your car and hopefully it gets done soon so we can see the finishing results! keep it up i think its looking good.

 

no i totally forgot, i have the intercooler chiller that has to go there..... *duh* my brain is fried... thats why XS is so low

 

Hey theres a thread on Accolades EVO V kit for the regular Lancer and they are concerned about fitment maybe you can give them some insight on your experience
