okay, i just got a 2004 lancer es with 30,000 miles on it... im trying to get a body kit, but im not sure if one holds up better than the other, the evo 8 or evo 9 kit... any idea?

 

i think its only them. do a search on here for accolade. lots of mixed emotions about them. just do some reading and make your own evaluation of whether or not to order from them

 

that is our evo 8 kit, hood front and sides it looks like, it requires a bit more work to fit because it is JDM..

 

I don't think you want to have big piece of cardboard on the side & tiny head/front to make ppl laugh, so Roadrace kit is a lot better & it looks like a functional kit.

 

need rims before any of this. neither will look close to good if u dont have some new wheels

 

all of those are fiberglass so they will pretty much be the same. some kits do have more fitment issues then others but that also changes from kit to kit. Evo IX looks better then the VIII. imo

 

accolade is a real strong kit it is what i have on my car and as you can tell i race with it too pluse it will not shatter like fiberglass accolade uses a pfrp type it has plastic mixed with and give it strength

 

no it requires more work to fit because ur kits are terrible, not because there JDM. just thought i would correct u.


i would go RRM their kits fit the first time and don't require $1000's of body work to get them to fit properly, plus the RRM kit just looks better.

 

thanks for the opinions... i think im gonna go with the IX... as for White OZ Rally... i just got rims too: http://www.hubcap-tire-wheel.com/icw-kobe-gmml.html (17s)

 

I got the 8 kit and I think it fit perfectly plus it only cost me 530 with paint and instal so I don't know where your gettin the 1,000 bucks from. I think the nine is horrible unless you have a frontmount intercooler to go with that bumper other wise your gonna have some huuuuuuuuge gaps.

 

you should consider yourself one of the lucky ones, cause its usually hit or miss with accolade kits. But I dunno, I'm not really into body kits anymore, but either one looks decent if you ask me, it depends on what you would prefer your lancer to look like.

 

The fitment ...I am not too worry about as long as the guy who install them has professional skill then it can turn out good since no kit is 100% perfect fit, but the problem on their kit is not really a good looking kit so no matter how good the installation guy is, there is no way can make it look good! Unless they can redesign this kit otherwise this can't consider a good looking kit! or might be they should copy the Asian Evo 8 kit, then I think the problem is solved.


Look at the appearance on their kit.....

 

You dont know what you're talking about.. I could post about their kits and call it a day but I wont, I will let the fact that nobody really owns that kit to speak for itself, there are reasons for that being the way it is.. search. 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.

 

dave do you guys use pfrp in all bodykits now? isnt it supposed to be better overall then fiberglass?

also, i think the evo9 kit looks funky. but im not a big fan of BKITS.. rrm aso changed there SS recently so email them for pics. no matter what with fiberglass there will always be some fitment issues. thats y professional install is best! also, i sorta ike the front of the evo8 kit.. although i wouldnt go so far into evo territory.. nice looking conversion though.. id go with

evo8 front
kenstyle sides and evo7 rear.

 

this is my kit i love it and it went on easy i just painted it so it wouldnt be yellow till i can get all of the car painted it is a accolade kit




i just wish they would sponsor me i am the only one in my area with a lancer with this kit on it in my area i would let them paint the car like they would want if they would pay for it and put there name on it
