If you will look at their site, they specifically state that they are all about show cars. Also, you have to already do some modifying of your own and have a few trophies under your belt. Obtaining sponsorship is no where near easy and you are going to have to cath someones eye before they throw free stuff at you.

Well I seriously wish you luck on that, it would be nice to see a lancer that doesn't suck be sponsored by accolade but it sure is gonna cost you some cash(I think).

Just look at all our buyers on here, one says it fit perfectly fine, another says its very strong and it takes a beating..

Accolade is the best manufacturer for these parts.. truth be known.

what do u mean no one has there kit, i have seen it on tons of cars, Accolade is the best manufacture, do u really believe the **** u type, u have been in that warehouse to long. is that why when a costumer sends back a body kit u refuse it and u are the only guy who works at Accolade. i have soooooo many friends with ur kit and half are broken and the other half don't fit. i have never heard a happy accoldae costumer so i'm not sure what ur talking about.

Happy accolade customer

From my experiance though, every body kit company has their screw ups. When it comes to manufacturing and then shipping, their is a lot of time for the kit to get damaged and the consumer is should be aware of that. Also, every body kit company clearly states that their kits are meant for off road use only and does require some modifications. I have noticed that you are saying your friends had problems but not you so how can you judge something that you have personally never experienced? Not trying to attack you in any way, just sayin that insulting accolade is not going to accomplish anything. I have their evo 8 kit and it came in perfect condition, granted they are amazingly slow on responce time to any questions but excluding that, they are a decent company that exclusively makes products for lancers(which we need).

Go with what you think looks best. I will have to agree what was posted before, get wheels first. Your car will look like a$$ with a body kit and the stock 14" wheels.

I hope this does not become some flame fest on accolade. There has been to much of that. I have never dealt with them so I have to stay neutrel on the company and there products.

Kid Lancer 7, graphictor2, 04ozrally.. Thanks for your comments guys good or bad..

If there is one company to support its accolade, we dont spare any effort to continue to develop parts for the lancer and improve ourselves at the same time, there is always room to grow..

I agree too! Mine is pretty nice only a minor problem that Dave and I are waiting on SEIBON to get done! I got mine from Accolade cause I did not have to modify or remove my rebar or anything! Not to mention it looked damn sexy on Kid lancer 7s ride! Scarlette is a sexy bish! Now if I could only talk them into replacing the EVO VII wing that I have still sitting in my room for an VIII! Wanna trade them back Dave? LOL! You could always get the kit from Accolade, they have the EVO 9 rear bumper too! Not a big fan of the VIII kit for any lancer though!
