i just emailed accolade because im interested in buying body kit and guess what they said they dont ship to california!

they told me that they put law suits on some california companies regarding copyright violations!!!!! what the *#@*! ive been wanting to buy a body kit for my car and this thing happened!!

of all the timing!!

 

Isn't there a wharehouse in cali?

 

wtf dude because of shipping?

 

accolade has some sweet body kits too that sucks man..

 

u know? you could most likely find a bodykit on these forums for cheaper and maybe painted already.

 

That's pretty weird since they do have a warehouse here in so cal

 

Yeah, wasn't it somewhere in San Bernadino?

 

dat is odd, unless something happened recently for them not to be shipping to Cali.
I ordered some eyelids prolly almost a year ago, and they shipped them to my house, so I dunno.

 

maybe they should keep us updated..... also just buy one from rrm BETTER COMPANY

 

^ +1

or at leat the kaminari kit assuming you have an 02-03. If you have an 04-05, definitely RRM's kit.

 

i know....

and yeah i think they do have a warehouse here in cali so why aren't they shipping here???
thats just too bad to here...

 

Have someone from the area (relatives, friends, etc..) pick you up the body kit you want, then have them either take it to you and you pay them 100 bux, or figure out some similar plan. As long as there is money in it for them, and they have a pickup truck, they will agree to do it.

 

The only thing I can think of regarding copyright violations is that Accolade and RRM have both made a kit that looks almost identical.

Accolade's: http://www.accoladegrilles.com/gracing2.jpg
RRM's: http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/images/evo9front.jpg

I just saw Accolade's newest kit, http://www.body-kit.com/lan04tomsr01.jpg , which looks incredible. Similar to RRM's, but with a few differences. Accolade's Tom's front bumper looks a little more natural than RRM's which has a giant opening for an intercooler.

Depending on price, since Accolade doesn't list them on their site like RRM does I'd seriously consider the Tom's kit. However, I'm still concerned about Accolade's customer service quality. It seems like every few weeks there's a new thread about someone getting an Accolade kit arriving cracked or not fitting and then they give the customer a hard time about exchanging it or returning it. For example, I buy this kit and it arrives in a banged up box and the kit is cracked and broken I'd like to know I could exchange it without having to pay to ship the defective kit or pay to ship the replacement.

 

^I think for both kits their not exactly that similar, just the front bumpers, but obviously both front bumpers are gialla inspired. Other than that, the rear bumpers are slightly different and the ss are completely different.

 

Even if the copyright violation is between Accolade and RRM, RRM came out with that body kit first, so it doesn't make alot of sense that Accolade would put a law suit against them.
