So basically that is 1 day to tear your old stuff off, fit the new stuff, prime the new stuff, paint the new stuff, clear coat the new stuff, and install the new stuff. How about blending it to factory color if its faded? It doesnt make sense.
I gave them the parts first and it took 5 days to paint. (a little less but i had to wait) then they installed it on the 5th day, I helped them install it - it took about 3 1/2 hours to install.

edit* the new back bumper uses the stock bracket that goes on the stock back bumper. You just have the drill out the ribbits and redrill the holes on the new bumper cuz the holes were to small.

I dont think there was any need for a custom bracket for the back bumper. Or maybe he relly did get a bad kit. But I think that is way to high of a price the highest I found in Miami to install my kit was $750. It looks good though, but w/e thats my opinion.

edit* - again, my kit fit PERFECTLY. No extra support or anything was needed and I kept all of my re-enforcment bars! Just had to redrill some holes to make them bigger.

Personally, doesnt matter to me what you think of my car. You have already trashed me enough that you probably only said this so you can say how good accolade products are. Once again, where do you live? I would love to meet you in person?

haha... that is way too much exaggerated drama.

Some people on here are very lame.

"really really scarry- MP5"

We have a couple guys saying the kit fit perfect.. and one guy showing us a picture of a broken tail light cover and custom bracket mounts..

Not that it is ANY of your business but I pay quite a bit more than $150 a month. I am done with the personal attacks and apologize. I just hate seeing people that are having the same problems I had with Accolade's kits be made to look like they are lying. Accolade has ALWYAS had big problems. I didn't make up my $2000 install like I am sure noone else is making up theirs. Accolade should take responsibility for their manufacturing errors and help these people with install costs. If I manufactured anything , I would not leave a bitter taste in the mouths of the customers that keep me in business. One day , they will have screwed too many people and word of mouth will spread and people will see the bad reviews on Accolade and at that time , what will they do ? I can't see them staying in business too much longer. Shady businesses just don't last but I think that is ok to Accolade. I honestly believe that they are all about the "get the cash and dip" so I am sure , after hundreds of customer complaints that they will shut the doors to Accolade's plant and leave with a huge bank account awaiting them.
