Apex body kit
I'm definately considering getting an Accolade Apex body kit for my '02 OZ. Has anyone else applied this kit, and if so, how did it go, how does it look afterwards? Was the company easy to deal with? Do all the parts and necessary peices come with it? I would appreciate your feedback. Being as they're located in Skri Lanka, I'd like some confidence before I wire my $$$ 5,000 miles away.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Okay, no offense, but you need to do a search on this topic, there are numerous threads about this kit and about Accolade. I have applied this full kit(everything seen), It looks very nice and I am very happy with it. All pieces come as your order request. Just fair warning, not that it's Accolade's fault, but it does take a LOT of time for the kit to get here, if you order it now from them, you will probably receive it July. US Customs has to inspect it and they take their sweet *** time with it. Just giving you ample warning ahead of time, it's not as simple as you wiring money and it arriving at your doorstep. You may have to get a broker to get US Customs Clearance, etc. Overall, I am VERY pleased with the kit and it's appearance. I was/am also pleased with the services from Accolade. Another note, the rear reinforcement bar needs to be removed which is illegal in order for the rear bumper to go on. That's the only big modification you need to make which isn't even that big of a deal. But like I said, for more info, do a search for "Apex" or "accolade", you will get more help most likely by doing so. Good luck and happy shopping

Thanks, I appreciate it. The email ABK sent me definately looked like I would have to jump through some hoops to get the kit. Sorry I didn't search earlier, but I'll do that now. It is a sweet looking kit though.

Mine went on really easily but both my reinforcemnt bars came off mostly for it to fit really nice and then some for weight reduction I cut a good 150 pounds off my car by putting this kit on it and im prolly going to get some ultra light racing hearts 17 to go with it. They only problem I have ran into is that I got a RRM exhuast and since its deisgned for the OZ bumper it sticks out like 4 inchs looks REALLY bad but thats no ones fault just the shorter bumper so Im going tommorow to a freind get him to cut the pipe back some so the tip will be under the car not sticking out and get a cat back pipe.

cost me 250 to get mine put on and that included some fog lights I had put in and a carbon fiber wing instead of the evo wing that comes with it. I got some oval fog lights to go in the bottom gap of the kit that fit almost perfect.
