SPONSORSHIP

We See so many requirement for sponsorship,

Number please do understand so many people email us daily for Sponsorship,

We have clearly highlighted on our Sponsorship page of TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Some just email us to get free kits and they just forget about us, This has happend so many times, so we are now carefull on how we choose, Once applications is put we see solid people with a Track Record.

Some just get the a free kit - So we just dont want to allow that unless we have return. I think our sponsorship policy clearly says it. Because we get more than 30 emails day for sponsorship i am sure you do understand this, We only seek people who have cars made for Magazine Quality Stuff.

If you have not been replied means your application has not been chosen.

 

I really dont appreciate this public scrutiny itscypha, especially how a poll was made to conduct the "truth" well if the truth starts as the worst on the list at the top in descending order with members voting "1" being horrible.. it makes you think.. so what I did was check some of the cardomains they dont even have any Accolade parts and so I matched their locations with our shipping logs conclusion, a few are not even Accolade buyers...

If you want the truth, we have a trader rating.. but if you want opinion that is not necessarily the truth, so lets be rational and seperate fact from biases..

 

Rigo you mind reader!

Dave, how can you stand by your product when you know it has problems. You know why you stand by your products, because that check every 2weeks tell you too. We know your not stupid, you know there is problem w/ accolade and there products. So yeah, keep that infront of dimantha... because if he saw you telling the truth, ud be (truimph voice) FIRED !

 

[QUOTE=itscypha]
Hey we did not even recieve one email from you to our Sales Department asking for the price of fenders,

I am truly sorry but we have not even got one email.,


or are you using a AOL Account.

 

I've never ordered from accolade and I'm hesitant just because of the back and forth comments of the kits fit, they dont fit. If accolade, or any other company besides kaminari for that matter, could develop a strictly urethane kit then im sure a lot more people would be inclined to buy.

While there are pros and cons for and against both urethane and fiberglass, urethane has the tendency to have a more exact fit if its made from a good mold.

To be honest I cant think of a single negative comment about fitment concerning a kaminari kit, for evo or lancer. My only thing against the kaminari kit is i dont feel it strays from the original design too much. And I'm not all about paying close to a grand for a bodykit that makes my car look almost the same as it was before I spent a bunch of money.

Im pushing for the kit manufactuers to start making kits out of urethane. Because even though the kit itself might cost more than the fiberglass one, you'll end up getting a better fit, which would mean you dont have to spend crazy money at a bodyshop getting the fiberglass one to fit.

 

I will comment no more we are progressing, in fact we just finished our own web forum that we hope our customers can take advantage of..

We work for the greater good of the lancer community, we are always developing new applications and taking the field of exterior customization to another level, the latest being the extreme fenders,

We have so much response and demand that we cannot keep up with the requests, this causes frustration.. and I do sincerely apologize, but do understand I want nothing more then to make this company an admiration, and in the past years we have had great response.. what I believe cypha and others are experiencing now is a service issue.. the fact of the matter is that some of our newly arrived shipments are quite low for respective products.. so in the past our problems were logisitics but now its communication and availability.. which I feel we will perfect over time, it is our next evolution and we here at Accolade are making it our number one goal for 2005 to improve...

There is a similar thread to this in regards to RRM which I feel is a different market but reflect an overall great record.. yet people are bashing them.. I guess thats just the cost of online business, its very public.. But potential consumers should discern the views of a select few who are incessant with their opinions from those experiences of the vast majority.

There is no need to attack my character or insult how I make my living.. Im fairly certain you do not even have any Accolade products so you can go on board with the other critics with no experiences with us but feel the need to express themselves.

 

i think service is good with accolade but just make better kits out of urethane... i think more ppl will buy from u if the kits are durable

 

Your comments are very Noteworthy Developing a kit from URETHANE is very difficult. Specialy full kits.

You need to produce more than 2000-3000 kits of one design to cover the cost from URETHANE. This is most URETHANE STUFF ARE LIPS.

Also for small markets like Lancer devloping URETHANE KITS is impossible,
Aslo on URETHANE you can develop serious designs( Design is Limited )

 

That makes two of us. F those god damn snakes.

 

I agree, ur totally right. kaminari kit is the biggest waste of money, might as well stay stock.

 

TIDUSS, i think because kaminari did not recover there investment on the mould,

I guess this is why they may have not developed a kit for the 2004 lancer.

Infact this is why most manufactures do not make kits in URETHANE

 

Wow so many bitter people from 2 years ago, they bash the product and say its poor, yet they are upset because they didnt get one for free..thats a contradiction.. and in my book thats blackmail on a small scale as well.. Clearly we need to stop this practice of offering goods at no cost as incentives or appeasement.. it brings out ill feelings...

 

David very true, I dont know any other comapany which offers free kits like us,

Even for DAN, i guess he waited for ALMOST 1 and HALF YEARS TO RECIEVE KIT and he proved that he was genunine supporter of Accolade, Then Also vince ( Driftrunsir), Then David A Corley, Kid Lancer 7 A True Accolade Supporter and many more, I guess we should stop giving free kits, because people will misunderstand, When we promise a kit we wait for at least 6 - 8 months before we give it to see how much support they give us, This is our trick to find out who is genuine, I guess Dan was the best in this, We even did not reply to his emails, but still he really proved he was true at heart- So he won it !!!.

So i guess from now on i will not promise any one any free kit for ANY ONE

 

I dont think these debates will end anytime soon, it seems our past from 2 years ago is hard to shake off because embittered people which in all honesty I suspect is around 5-7 are frequent members.. And among those select few I have noted that some have created new threads wanting to know more about our latest product requesting quotes and feedback as if planning a possible purchase.. so not entirely sure what thats all about.


On another note I am a vendor on over 5 car forums, web boards where we have started fresh with U.S. operations from the beginning.. you know what they say about us ? They love us and the support is overwhelming.. altimas.net, msprotege, g20.net.. We hold sponsored gatherings at our facility and we are well recieved and well respected.



Thanks to all those who support us, we remember and its greatly appreciated. And to all those who opted for neutral, thanks for keeping an open mind..

 

People are bitter becasue nothing was ever done. I hate you company and all it stands for. I even filed a complaint with the better business bureau. I purchased my kit back in April 2002. NEVER received any emails about my payment of anything else for that matter. Finally after I write to call and say I want to cancel it, Dimantha says that my kit is shipped and he will give me a purchase #. All was well and good. So 8 months later I get the wrong F***ing kit. I paid 1500 for the Xenon and was sent the Sh!tty a$$ apex gt kit, which cost $500 less at the time. Did I see a refund, NO. Did I even get an email back from them, NO. So finally after the 9th month Dimantha sends me an email stating that the Xenon kits had problems and I was sent a different kit that needed no modifications. Did they ask me if I wanted the other kit, NO. Did I have to do modifications for my apex kit, YES. Damn thing cost me $3000 to get installed. And that was by my body man who always hooks me up. The fiberglass was so cheap and warped. All I could say was damn. So after 10 months I had a body kit that looked like **** and was $4500 poorer. So that I why I stay after accolade, I am going to make sure if they post how good their product is, I am right their to give people my dealing with them. And no Dave I am not going to check your rating, how many people on that list are real and how many did you create?? I dont care if you werent there 3 years ago when all this bad stuff happened, it is still run by the same bunch of people who have know clue on how to satisfy the customer or business ethics.


So if you wait 6-8 months before shipping for free kits and mine took 8 months to get to me, I think I am entitled to have it free. any agree??
