im 99.32% sure im going with the evo ver1 kit from accolade. Ill fit it and fill in any imperfections myself. and then get it painted to match. I really want to go with the ken style and add side skirts like lancerman did. But to buy new skirts is out of the question. If anyone has a ken style bumper and sideskirts for sale. pm me. If not im buying the evo bumper.

damn sucks to hear your car got hit.. atleast your CF candy is safe..

seeing the choices you have provided.. i would go with the ken.. the evo bumper looks a little too wide.. i havent seen any1 else with it.. good luck on your choice..

yeh. im happy none of the carbon was damaged since its all sitting in my room for the winter. lol.

What do you meen by, "the evo bumper looks to wide." I guess I dont see it. I like the evo style because its cleaner and goes with the lines better but if I can find a ken style front bumper and skirts for sale used ill get it.

Accolade had a sale on this ver. 1 bumper. Only one person bought it that I know of.

if you get the kenstyle go CF ... i had an accolade evo 3 fiberglass kit and it flexed so much that it had so many hair line cracks. my kenstyle CF bumper from RRM still looks perfect just like the day i got it.

haha. id love to go with the CF bumper but the $900 price tag is a bit much for me to spend right now. I could skip buying coilovers and get the bumper though.... eh. lol...

I am a lil scared of having the fiberglass and im kinda hopeing I get lucky and get a good quality bumper outa the mold. We will just have to see. lol

if i had a choice to pick which bumper i wanted instead of just rushing i would have just gotten the rmr type 1 lip. its good quality so you don't have to worry about it so much. are you going to pay for everything? no insurance involved?

or.

Ken style front.


Im not gonna do skirts.. keeping stock oz's. Im leaning toward evo style simply because it doesnt hang as low. but Ken style is my fav bumper. Lemme know what you think. heres a pic of my car that its going on.

If no evo 9 front bumper, I like Ken style better than Accolade evo VII ver1 .

but I think the evo 9 front bumper is you want, too

after imajin chattin with me and lookin up height differences im pretty sure ive decided on the ken style bumper with the bottom lip painted black. with a drop and my wheels I dont think the height difference will be all that noticable. Im not sure wether to buy used, or order through RRM or accolade.
