My friend bought a kit from Accolade. He sold it without installing it. Once he saw it, he was disappointed with the fitemnt. I was helping him prefit it before painting. He gave up on it and sold it. Just my limited experience with these products.

1500 for fitment, no paint. It hung off in the wheel wells, had giant gaps under the headlights, gaps under the tailights, + all had to be reresined and more fiberglass mat.

accolade should probably just stick to selling on ebay for like 299 a kit, since thats about what they are worth by the time you finish making it look ok.

it cost me $800 to paint my kit, install, fix my accident from last year(whole rear quarter panel, driver side) body shop said, they were impressed on how well the kit fit, all they had to do was drill the holes, prep and paint....

holy ****, i guess i wont be going accolaide, i posted this just a couple of days ago and there is alot of negative feedback. I realize this has re-opened a can of worms but i had to know myself what others truly thought. thanks for the feedback! Does anybody know if rrm has other kits besides the ken style or plans for the future? what about other manufacturers copying the ken style?

again, thanks for the feedback!

The wavyness is caused by improper drying and cure time. I guess thats what happens when everything is made in a sweatshop and time is money.
