Accolade will make promises to get customer, but once the customer got the stuff, Accolade will be like "what promise?"

yup... dont buy from accolade unless you dont care about their sh*tty customer service ... and if you were wondering about the material they used to make their kits, its not poly fiber, not flexible, its 'crunchy' like doritos and itll break easily. id prefer you buyin off ebay rather than accolade... cheap material, bad customer service, but cheaper when it comes to price

the best vendor for lancers i have seen is RRM all the way, they stand on their own products and always give the best customer service to everyone.

yea my hood didnt have a latch either, but it didnt matter cause it didnt fit anyways. that was old accolade, but i dont know how much they actually changed. ive seen the prfp and is basically the same design with a thin coat of yellow gel stuff.

in my opinion (which is what i hope youre looking for) go with the trusted guys first. RRMs hood are the best quality i have ever seen and the cf is perfect tight weave and on top AND under the hood as well, not like some who have cf on top and paint the bottom black.

that is my opinion and if you dont like it then dont listen.


and to answer your question: PAIN

i believe immapunkclaimer, my hood never fit 100 % either, I had to drill out one of my hinges to make it fit better.

quality kits don't come from experience nor do they come from false promises, we try our best, quality kits start with quality customer service

i ordered a ken style kit, front rear, sides, hood(vented), taillight coivers, and eyelids and i received a ken style front of rear bumper, broken taillight covers and kaminari side skirts.

the front and rear bumper looked like they were made for other cars, and fit terrible. The quality is very poor as the fiberglass is as thin as paper.


If you want something that is easy and painless, go with the RRM kits, a company that is proven and actually has what they call customer service.....to some that is a foreign term.

Im all the way on the other side of the country and they help with no questions asked.

oh I forgot something... when I ordered my full Evo VII kit and ask Dimantha if I could get Ken Style SS instead of the Evo VII SS and he said "yes sir", but he didn't! I was really dissapointed on Accolade that time, but I calm down because I knew I was going to get free kit but NOT and so on... full of liesssss
