The Accolade kit is for U.S. spec lancers, so the reinforcement bar doesn't have to be removed. I think this kit looks great, except for the spoiler that is. Anyone willing to photochop a mitsu emblem in the grill? I think that would look pretty neat.

i like how the side skirts jut out to...but the rear bumper..it isn't jutting out to give it that 'uniform' effect. liek the front bumper they are sticking out a lil at the bottom and the side skirts a lot..and its like the rear bumper the edge are rolled under the car, the opposite of sticking out ya know.

the kinda kit i really want is like the ken style..but the rear fascia area...the body kit kinda comes back in towards the bottom of the tire...instead of mainly coming straight down..where it curves back to the tire...i love those kinda kits they look sooo cool, a nice 'filling' effect i guess.

does anybody know of someone who's purchased that kit from accolade? I'd be interested in seeing how it fits on another car. I am very close to putting some money down...

let me get my magnifying glass out... it looks to be down to the milimeter. Seriously guys almost all body kits will never align perfectly with OEM without adjustments... Those circled areas look to be minor adjustments to the mounting areas and not a design flaw. I'm sure Accolade could adjust the offset to perfection now that you have brought it to their attention with your magic marker.

that's the gap i meant. And moving around the bumper doesn't look like it well help much. The angle they cut is off, you'd need to bondo that ***.
