okay., i feel like everyone's bashing me, but i just really dont like the fact that there isnt an evo 8 kit for our lancers. I really wish i had an evo, but i'm only a college kid, and my budget is not much. the same amount of money and time they spend in making ugly front ends like the Apexi versions 1 and 2, and all that, they can make an evo 8 front end, or make one that looks like it. I swear i only like 2 of the lancer kits out there, the rest are ugly to me. i like the evo 7 front ends only, and the tracer front ends only. and whoever said there was an evo 8 front end on a 02'03 lancer, i gotta see it, cause i dont believe it.

i dont remember what specific thread it was posted in, but there was a pic floating around somewhere. like i said it was on a overseas lancer. no one stated what company made the kit, but they did have it. sorry i dont know more info. i guess search? maybe that'll help.

and..i wanna say..accolade doesnt have to be the only one to make it. gosh, how many other people out there produce and design lancer kits/ or kits for that matter? accolade sucks apparently if they can't produce a kit that looks like an evo 8 for our year lancer.

ANYTHING can be done if you throw enough money at it, I am a cost accountant for a custom manufacturing firm so i've done the cost analysis on a lot of custom products. Not all of them are feasible.
If accolade doesnt feel that there is enough demand for something that will possibly take a large amount of money to develop then they would actually be right to not produce that product.
If you feel that accolade "sucks" because they won't bend over for you then, I really dont know what to tell you. Take your business elsewhere, find a company that will produce it, try to stage a large group buy that would prove that this would be profitable, perhaps. But it is rather childish to complain about it in this manner.

wouldn't that be hard since the grill is part of the hood on our cars and the grill is part of the bumper on the evo 8s?
