Im probably gonna go with Accolade for the bumper because its $55 cheaper then RRM's..... and Im not sure if RRM uses the material accolade does (that claims to be stronger and more flexible)

What does everyone think? dont turn this into vendor bashing. Im asking about the quality/materials of the two bumpers...

right. they are both fiberglass but the PFRP stuff accolade uses is supposed to be stronger and more flexible since it has plastic mixed in..

i'd say go with accolade. they focus more on body kits so i'd expect them to have good quality

eh .. old pix of my car. i didn't like how the hood locks looked so i got my hood painted. hehe. heres some new fairly recent ones

sweet man. love it. I may paint my hood like that down the road as well. love that lil flare you did toward the windshield as well. Looks great. dig the ride man. Drop looks good. I expect to be right around that height. May go a tad lower.. Live on the wild side.

Evo bumper was in a commanding lead at the beggining. Ken style has taken over!
