Question Accolade Apex 2

Hey,

I need an opinion on the accolade apex 2 kit. im thinking of purchasing it for my pheonix red 03. I was also curious about how much a body kit costs to paint for a nice 2-3 coat paint job....not counting install and sanding..i can do that part. thx.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you have to remove both the front and rear crash bars to make the kit fit. Check on that first.

he means that fitment or the apex 2 kit has had some issues. search around and you should find some stories. Anyway, they are supposedly coming out with a apex 3 kit that is us spec. If that is true, you might want to look into that. just my .02

I've had my eye on the ApexII kit for some time too. The only thing I don't like is the rear bumper, but I do want JDM. When it comes to getting a kit, I might see if I can just get JDM ken style rear bumper. But I like the front bumper of the Apex more than ken. Plus, EVERYONE gets Ken, someone has to be different around here :P
