Ordered the ken style front, ken style rear, grille and tail covers. Tail covers came broken, grill is warped and doesnt fit, and the two bumpers dont fit even close.....they fit on alright but the holes dont line up the slightest bit. Only thing that fits is the kaminari sides I got. I thought they came in PFRP and nope, i got complete fiberglass.


boo to accolade....i owe lots of money to my shop now to get these junk parts to fit.

Kaminari is urethane as are most top notch brands. Most fiberglass and other materials with those really strange names are usually gimmicky unless from a truly reputable manufacturer like C-West who does layered fiberglass if I remember right.

If I were you, I'd wait until JWERNER24 gets his accolade evo conversions in. Since he test fits the kits first, you'll get an idea of how well they fit. I'd always try contacting the U.S. dealer first, ordering straight from an overseas country in this case is never as safe.

Filed a complaint

Filed a complaint with the BBB(Better Business Bureau) about Accolade and US distributors.

There poor kits and accessories will not be tolerated. Too many people have had problems and this is not acceptable. It just cost me 1.5 times the cost of the kit to have it fitted on my car. No way they are getting away.

To those of you with fitment issues send BBB an email. Maybe we can get all of us taken care of it for our troubles and money wasted because this company garantees fitment but doesnt stand behind it.


Any questions AIM me at Morphling2001 or email me at velocityk@velocitykoncepts.com

PAGE 7 and 8 FOR PICS!

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.
