Dnt mean to offend Accolade customers, but I still don't understand how some people can just wire money over to a 3rd world country and get no guarantees in return, you must be if you are going to shell out that kind of dough these kits cost w/o seeing/reading the horror stories on this site.
I fully understand that the Lancer aftermarket market is slim pickings but guys, unless you roll big willie I suggest going with the proven Kaminari Kit or holding out for better kits as they come out. I mean get 18s and drop your OZs and inch or 2 until more is offered. We all know 2F2F is coming to a theater near you and all the Honda Rice heads will be jocking Mitsu Lancers and Evos that same release weekend. So more should be available very soon.
I have news for you, when you see a picture of an Accolade Body-Kit on their site, and you see a rice pattie field in the background, uh....... that cannot be good. These are the samedudes that insist they have a Lancer that rolls on 19" rims.......c'mon!
Excuse me sir, smells like crap sir, you company no good for customers plus dont care enough sir. , regards sirs, ABK

Well now im wondering where to buy a body kit, anyone have any good ideas, And on another note, if that many people have been screwed over why doesnt someone start a class action lawsuit, and with the proceeds start building kits in the us?? just an idea!!

well i think that diran at accolade cut off my e-mail to him cause I e-mailed him back to see when my right front bumper and rear bumper will be comming in to me cause he told me a couple of days and its been a couple of weeks, and to also see whats going on with my rear wing but every e-mail i send to them gets sent back to me saying that unable to deliver mail to recipiant....so what does that tell you... it tells me that accolade is a ****ing joke and they dont care about their customers. I hope no one buys anything from that ****ing place again and it goes under and you never here about them again. I think that they should be banned fron the forum untill they get their customer service **** strightend out

I would order from Vision because A) They're in the CONUS B) They're a registered vendor. Accolade on the other hand is JUST a member and you never know what shady projects they have going on.

im pretty sure accolade has redone all their kits so that fitment is 99.99% and all stock safety features are in place. accolade was the first company i saw to produce a bodykit (kaminari following close behind) and im pleased that they are getting their act together...

I think you would have to remove the safety bars, but I'm not quite sure. I'd ask Ozrallyguy about this.

ozrallyguy is the most irate person i have ever encountered. he is so angry and irrational. and i have yet to see any proof of his validity in being an authentic ken style distributor. i could be wrong but i dont think anyopne has ordered from him yet...

dont get me wrong, free enterprise is what founded this country i just wish the vendors could get along better...
