So... I have now fitted the Accolade Ken style kit. IT fit VERY well! No complaints with the fitment whatsoever. it was basically a bolt on bumper. no trimming needed... or bending at all. Somehow I managed to put a crack in the gelcoat right where the front tip of the headlight was... first time fitting it I pulled it bit to much around the headlight (oops).. easily fixed though. Now all is left is sand and fix my crack.
on for my pics. I tried to get a good angle on the height difference but space in my friends garage was limited due to his projects spread around.

No, gonna keep my stock OZ skirts. I was worried about the height difference but it seems fine to me with this kit.

yeh.. I use stock washers in my CF hood and bought these to run on stock for winter time... only nozzles I could find in any store... just cut the wires to the led.

I didnt paint the bottom of the air dam cause i though this would be what I was after. Look more like a lip rather then simply the bottom half of a kit painted.
