Bodykits are all personal preference, thats the main problem with the threads "which kit should I get?" or "which rims look best on my car?", if you don't at least have a general idea of what you want no one can help you. As for RRM, people need to remember that they're basically a group of like 3-5 guys who have turned a hobby into a business. As such, they might not be feeling so great everyday of the week and sometimes they might not be in the mood to deal with certain types of people (which on some days seems to be everyone). I tend to cut them and other small, lancer-based businesses slack simply because they're real people with real lives. They're doing this as a passion, and I can respect that. I much rather have to deal with a little attitude one day and actually get the answers I want and need than have to go to 10 different Canadian Tires, PartSources, etc. just to find the one guy who actually knows what a gasket is.

the bottom line is you didnt research. you just wanted people to hand you an answer. ill make it easy. you got 1000 bucks. accolade and RRM arent the only companies that sell body kits for our car. import trenz has em, ATF Performance has them, even ebay has them. as for fitment- search it.
RRM gets their evo7 v2 bumpers from import trenz, and i do not want kaminaris.

I have searched and there is nothing that answers my questions. who has tried putting together a evo7 v2 with a evo9 sideskirts with a accolade shorty rear bumper before? nobody! thats why i m making those threads. i had another user name on this forum before this one. i am looking for supports and tips. what i believe in is a friendly economy where i help and people help back in return and keep this going in cycle. thats what i meant by ;putting in many inputs in those forums and getting help in return from those. m not looking for critics. i have had enough sh1tty things going on. i'd appreciate to hear supportive things from people. if you have negative things to talk about, dont post anything here. appreciate it.

read careflly, this isnt a "what bodykit should i get" thread. this is me venting about the services of rrm and accolade. the another thread i made was not a "what bodykit should i get?" that was a question of budgeting and inquiring if those mixed kits from different companies together would line up my car evenly. those both threads welcome people to become involved in my project where everyone gets their chance to give constructive tips and good feedbacks.

again, no critics here please, just positive inputs and tips.

I think the RRM evo 7 bumper is RRM made since you can get a CF one if you so desire. As for this whole "no critics", you cannot complain about not getting the answers you want on an open website if you do not want your thread to be open, you have to take the good and the bad. My advice to you would be to call up or email RRM/Accolade and try again.

RRM's Evo 7 v2 kit is based off the IT kit but they dont wrap any IT products with CF. They have their own mold and the kit is 100% CF, not FG overlayed with CF.

as someone brought up before, there is a DEFINITE connection between rrm and import trenz for body kits, so i can't say with ANY certainty what is rrm's and what is bought/borrowed from someone else

as far as customer support, yeah, i've had the same problem with rrm's mismatch of employees. you got fellas like rob that will kill themselves to help you out and know a TON about stuff, and then people like......ahem....well, you know, that can't spell lancer right. in one instance, i called up and this one guy told me to turn some screw on my throttle body.

called back up 10 mins later, rob or gabe picked up, and they said "wtf, hell no, don't touch that, its not even related"

if you are having trouble, i would ask to speak to rob directly at rrm, or email dave directly @ accolade

beyond that, import trenz and rush kits are a good place to start looking if you are fed up with the other 2

Email me your phone number. Please explain to me your issues. I will call you. If you are unsatisfied I may be able to help you out. Not sure what is going on but we seldom get a complaint like this. Also our kits are our kits from our molds. I went back and read it again, I know who you are now. We have been helpful, maybe when you call it is difficult to communicate with my guys. Hence the yes/no answers. That is really not a reflection of our service. As for 30% off, we talked about it way back in the day, one year ago, there were things you were going to do etc... a club... my guys do not authorize any discounts, I do. Don't be hurt cause an offer I made 1 year ago does not necessarily stand now. You kind of misrepresented things a bit on this post. Please don't lump us in with issues you have with another vendor either. Thanks. Call me.

Dang I don't want to get in the middle of this... but that was harsh acting like you are gunne get a 2% discount fro the vendors for sticking up for them. This wasn't an attack on you but a way the guy could vent and get the proper people's attention. Which he did later on in the post. I would hardly the guy a newbie who has been here a couple years. call me one ok w/e I am new.

And i know a lot of people do need to search, but you know what some times the search just doesn't turn up the answer you want specifically. Just like in this case. He didn't want to know about one kit as a whole, but how the kits fit together mixing them and how they looked. Dang lighten up just a tad.

iagree with you, some people need to lighten up, need not to say who.

Sorry streetsleeper8, if you were having miscommunication on the phone, did you try emailing me... I handle mostly all the body stuff. Also we copied IT's molds, you can do CF in any bumper, thats proof enough. I don't understand why its so important to people. "Like OMG Import Trenz and RRM are connected in some Mysterious way???" , we decided to do business with IT because they are a company we respect, have a phone number, are respectable, and are here in the USA. Also, sorry if they guy couldn't answer your question, there is only a handful of us, so you might have takled to one of the new guys. We just recently brought 2 new guys aboard.
