Accolade already has a bad reputation among some of the members here. So I don't recommend you buying from them.

Could be that Shark Racing is manufacturing or contracting the manufacture of their own body kits now, molded from better, stronger materials than Accolade's. Let's say, you paid $400 for a piece of cr@p that required $2000 to fit, prep and paint, then it cracked on the first pothole you hit leaving the shop. Wouldn't you rather pay $1K for a quality kit that will last like your OEM components do? Just playing advocate. I know nothing.

We have taken off the accolade kits from the website for now, until this current shipment arrives and is tested. We have seen too many complaints on the quality of those kits to keep selling it, and then having customers angry and blaming us for the quality. Accolade says that this shipment is of top quality. We will see soon.

In the meantime, the only kits on the website right now are kits made here in the USA. Those are actually excellent prices considering. Our Hyundai kits made at the same place all go for way more. Also, what do you mean by almost 1000? Its not even close. Its only 695 plus shipping..

Yamaneko, any plans of molding these kits in Urethane? I've heard alot of bad things about fiberglass body kits. I don't want to spend the money on something that will crack and chip away. Just what I've heard.
