Hi Dave, may be you can give me a hand fitting my Accolade Kit. I bought it on Jan, and received it at the end of March. BTW, I live in Vancouver Canada. Almost two month, then I have to go through the custom and ****s like that. Now I found out at the bodyshop that the GT hood is does not fit my car, and the V-bar has to be taken off to fit the rear bumper, which is unsafe in case of accident.
I email accolade and they told me that the hood needs to be lifted b4 tighten, what is that mean? My hood won't close, it sticks up more than an inch when I lay it on my car without putting on the screws. And the kit is really rough, the bodyshop guy said that he has to charge me more to paint it becuz a lot of sanding needs to be done.
No doubt, the kit looks really nice. But it doesn't fit man. What can I do?

if you wanna take off your side skirts, just look underneath the car. you'll find they basically just pop off. start towards the back and pop em off working your way forward. i used a pry bar for mine. the rear bumper unscrews 1st in the wheel wells. then remove your trunk carpeting and tail lights. all of your bolts are now exposed. simply remove them. i believe u need a screw driver and a 10 ml. thats all. also, u need to remove the bolts on the actual trunk floor. this will allow the bumper to come off with the rear reinforcements. now the bumper will pull off. u have to remove the reinforcements once the bumper is off the car.
