There arent many kits for the lancer as is, but if you go to Nopi.com you will find that their e-catalog has alot for our ride. Though I think the only kit that they have there is the Kaminari kit.

Accolade is great! I have seen their kits and they take all the necessary steps to ensure a good fitment.. all you have to do is redrill a few holes as was mentioned before.

I'm looking at the Evo VII kit for mine. Anyone know anything about that kit? Also, anyone know how it'd hold up to a winter? I live in Indiana and we do get snow, so any knowledge is appreciated.

accolade....

I placed my order for my apex II kit on Feb 12th. Is supposed to arrive in NY Wed. Then it has to ship to Buffalo. One thing to keep in mind is that you are going to have to get the apex II kit from Sri Lanka. There are alot of extra costs involved with this. Customs, bonding, AMS=150.00 minimum (if they inspect your cargo (which they do 90% of the time if you haven't had anything shipped overseas before that costs extra). There are warehouse fees handling fees in Columbo (50.00) handling fees here in the states, etc, etc. It ends up costing around 500-700.00 more thatn the price quoted. I was quoted 850.00 for the FB,SS,RB, Hood, Grill, and evo VII spoiler. I have yet to get a grand total. I will let you know wednesday on that. I am getting it installed that week and will also let you know on the fitment. Good luck.
P.S.
Some people think the walker kit is ugly...I might be a little F'd up but I think it is sweet...lol

i ordered my Apex 2 body kit from accolade in sri lanka, and they took care of EVERY extra charge, shipping, customs, everything, i paid a straight fee for the kit, and it took a while to arrive, but fitment was almost perfect, i would order from them again
