Uhm... don't go for cheap... don't cut corners, otherwise you'll have an ugly kit that would have cost more money to put on (body work) then the actual kit itself.

it is cheaper to buy all together at once, because of shipping costs..

i got my kenstyle full kit (fb+ss+shorty rb) for $550 shipped. its great quality and the nice thing with accolade is that, you can get an inexpensive but high quality kit (and quickly too).

If you want to save cash go with a used kit. Check the forsale section.

I have an Accolade Apex II Rear Bumper that I'm not using, I havent posted it forsale but I am willing to let it go cheap. Its black in colour.

Nothing personal taken I'll be open and honest (and dave would probably confirm it, and im sure i pissed him off a few times with my posts) that I was an accolade hater for the longest time.

My mind still hadn't changed when I placed my order with them, mostly due to the stories from other people. When I actually had enough cash to buy a kit, I was 50/50 between accolade and importrenz. I decided to go with accolade because 1. they were very responsive in my communications and 2. they were willing to work with me on the price. From the moment I sent them money, to the moment before my kit arrived here, I was freaked that the kit would be crap, or it wouldn't come at all. Once I got the kit and noticed that it very good quality, I was very relieved.

I posted my accolade experience in the following thread. This is, in my opinion, an open and un-opinionated review of the accolade experience from a former accolade hater.

I'm not trying to sway anyone towards a specific product or company here. Just sharing my experience in buying a kit.
