i bought and finally after like 4 months of waiting got my Apex II kit. Front and sides fit perfect, the only problem or concern with my rear bumper is that some how i got the Kens Style rear bumper instead of the Apex II rear bumper. the Ken Style fits alright some gap between the tailight and the bumper but not that noticable. Well that is my opinion of the kit, seems to get lots of attention, so if that is what you are wanting then this is the kit for you. oh yeah quality is great, the body shop where i hd mine painted and installed said it was the best body-kit that has come in. This body shop mostly does body kits and special paints for compacts and small trucks.

accolade's body kits are well made.. alot of people have high regards since they redid their kits. I would suggest talking to one of the U.S. distributors maybe they have what you want in stock so shipping would be very fast.

Hey Wizzard, Im not sure if the U.S. distributors have the Apex 2.. Accolade are the guys who designed and manufactured the kit as the original party. You can email sales@body-kit.com speak to Dimantha he is the main man his username on here is "Accolade". Also Josh from Jive motorsports his username is JWERNER24 for a U.S. distributor.. check if he has it in stock first.. If not.. getting it factory direct is as easy as ever... they accept Paypal.. and have improved shipping times.. you just have to be patient in waiting for it to arrive. good luck.

The new kits from Accolade have very good fitment and quality.

Mark you are the only one complaining about the new Accolade kits... Is it because you thought you were supposed to get a free hood and paid too much for your install? Illizit only paid $400 for paint and install and he has the exact same kit.. now how does that make you feel?

Stop trying to ruin people's businesses... Mods have sent your threads to the trash before... and more than likely it will be sent there again.

I usually mind my own business, but more than likely, installing/prepping fiberglass body kit installs takes time and money. If you pay 400 bucks for a paint job and install, your father owns the business, or you got a really ****ty job. I had to get my body kit remolded kind of to fit right, and wound up paying 3,000, to install, fit, and paint the kit to blend in with the car(which is what the body kit is supposed to do, blend into the body of the car). Not have 1 shade of silver, and another shade for the rest of the car. Good work that looks tight and gets compliments takes time and money. So you are going to tell me I paid too much for my install/paint job too? If so, come take a look at my car, and find 1 glitch in my body work. Thanks!

oh and another thing ozlancerlunitic why are you posting about fitment for the Apex II... to my understanding you do not own this kit but you have the Ken Style.
