I just wanted to show you guys some pics of my Accolade kenstyle bodykit. I actually picked it up almost a month ago installed it a few weeks ago but haven’t been able to get the pics out of my digi cam until recently.

Review: The bodykit was a perfect fit and very snug! no problems at all with install. The quality of the PFRP is excellent very sturdy and very durable! I've picked up some kits before and seen them flex and wobble this kit is lighter than most bodykits I've seen and had and is alot stronger! The kit was yellow gel coated and from my closer inspections i saw no cracks/crease cracks or warping at all. all in all the kit was in great condition. I know Accolade had some problems with fitments and such from YEARS past and as you can see Accolade has been listening to all of you bickering, complaining and has improved dramatically to suit all of your standards/needs. So here I am showing you proof that Accolade kits have great fitment. So please no more "brand" bashing! [Images provided below]









The kit will be painted soon. I am at the moment saving up for a Evo6 hood and a wing and as soon as I get those parts the car will go in for a nice paint job.

I would also like to point out that I picked up my bodykit from Strada USA here in Southern California who had just signed up to be the west coast distributor for Accolade. The customer service there is great! The staff at Strada was on hand and ready to answer all my questions. David Zachary of Strada USA returned all my calls and emails quickly and with great patience. His staff gets two thumbs up for waiting for me because I had gotten lost and was late for over an hour! The staff helped me in finding my way to their place and was on their feet to help me out and answer my questions with no rush. They are friendly staff, I had a great conversation with them while I took a tour around their warehouse. [images provided below]













As you can see Strada stores a good amount of Accolade bodykits at their warehouse by doing so they can get plenty of orders out plus get it to the customers alot faster [received within 4-7 days] depending on stock. You can also take notice that in the full view of the interior of the shop you can see a giant roll of clear bubble wrap which is used to cover every bumper before shipping out. So customer service has been improved by alot, shipping has improved alot by having a stable distributor within the country. Wait time for receiving the kit is alot shorter now especially with a huge inventory stocked up @ Strada.

IMO Strada USA and Accolade have showed me that they are definately serious about their products, companies and services. I dont doubt them one bit and I gaurantee my next purchase will be through them.

 

Get new wheels! Stock hubcaps looks gross hehe. And im sure it will look good when painted. For now you should take it off, i hate when people drive around with unpainted body kits, it looks so crappy, and ugly.

 

Hey drift, I just bought my evo/ken kit Saturday. I am glad to hear that your kit fit with no problem and the quality was great. I can't wait till I put on my kit. All I would have to do is gel coat my kit to match the yellow of my lancer. Send some more picks later when you've got it painted and everything.

 

that looks awesome PROPS TO ACCOLADE, im soon ordering the ken style kit or the new evo7 from them so its nice to hear that your satisfied...does that aftermarket rear bumper stick out just as much as the oem one?

 

Haha yah i know i took the bodykit off. I ordered rims already as to what kind that will be later revealed.

Thats good to hear man! perfect time to buy a kit too as soon as all the parts i order come in and painted i will definately post up more final pics of the car

yes it does...but IMO i rather have the bumper stick out. yeah i know it looks weird since its so big but with my luck and all the jack *** LA drivers here in California i rather have a bumper that sticks out and allows me to use my reinforcement bars than not have them.

 

can i email this dave guy, i need to ask him about a kit for ralliart

 

go for it, i don't think he will care, he'll be glad to help u
tell him jay sent u

 

sounds good drift!...

 

Thanks for stopping by ! We are now U.S. based and most kits if not all are in stock and ready to ship.. The facility in CA is the largest Aero Source for the Lancer so come by everyone and visit us..

 

I want the Ken Style Kit real bad. But, its just that with all the talk about Accolade going on for the last like forever has me thinking twice. Gonna buy the Kaminari for now. Or might just hold off until they get more successful stories like this. I thought the Ken Style was Fiberglass...
