quick question..... which US distributors are giving you problems if i may ask? are you sure its not accolade themselves? i'm just wondering because i requested info on the evo vii kit. everyone told me that it would be in soon, but 2+ months later i got sick of waiting and promises. i never thought they had a problem, i just thought accolade themselves were just a little behind on the shipping.

uhmm...IT IS GUARENTEED that your get your MONEY BACK if the kit has fitment issues if you got the kits from U.S. distributors. Just get your money back, and Accolade has cleaned up their act a bit, I begun to trust them more now with the U.S. distributors and I'm glad that they make a large variety of kits for our cars. The distributors are just helping Accolade, I don't think you should blame them because it's not their product, but they are selling it and I guess they don't really test fit everything they get which would be a hassle. Josh is a good guy, and I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem by giving you your money back.

Then thats your dumb fault. When it has a guarntee you can return it if it doesnt fit, you shouldnt try to fix it yourself and then complain and file reports about it. It just seems pointless. And i doubt the BBB can do anything to an overseas company.

How to fix the Problem

How to fit this problem.

1 ) All hoods even the stock hood can be adjusted from the two Side Latches.

2) Usually when a hoods is being installed we recomend three people to install it.

i) You have to usually Pullthe hood up and install it as there is play in it and as the hood is heavy it will always go down.

So you have to pull the hood towards up and the tighten the hinges. Will post with pics on how to install it.

Regards

Accolade

i had the same problem with sharkracing.....they kept telling me my kit would come next week, and next week they would say the next week. I got sick of waiting and canceled after 3 months. I don't think it was shark racings fault, but accolade.
