what do u guys think?

 

a bit too exaggerated for my taste but do you

 

will ur insurance accept non oem rplacement?

 

not sure~
hey soul, do you know how much roughly this kit will cost?
or the Evo X conversion kit?

 

I think it's nice; but I'm not feeling the front

 

I heard fitment is very poor..ill do more research..

 

To be respectful to Accolade I wont weigh in with my personal opinions of the company it self, but I dont deal with Accolade based on past interactions with their customer service.

My opinion of this kit, its ok, but what bugs me is the side door flare outs. It stands out too much and if you have a white car especially the color difference is going to be hard to match on your metal doors. Its like that for all plastic vs. metal paint jobs, even OEM paint. But it stands out big time. Other then that I guess its ok.

That said, I would say to contact them directly, in terms of fitment i would ask around about price and search the forums. and figure out what everyone else is saying.

Look up fitment and wait times and come up with an average

 

I don't really suggest buying from accolade. You won't get your order for up to a year; from what I read from some other members buying on evom.

 

I think it looks proper, but if i remember right it's pretty expensive for this kit.

 

Just my $0.02. I have done this to an insurance company before as far as getting them to buy me an aftermarket kit without them knowing. First, don't go to a shop that your insurance company recommends. Then find a bodyshop that will allow you to use the money the insurance gives you/or them and get the insurance cheque, or get the bodyshop to either give you the cash or write a cheque for the kit of your liking. My last piece of advice on this is your insurance company will not willingly buy an aftermarket kit and will not like you if they find out, as my insurance company did.
My last $0.02. I like the kit (aggressive) but find a really good bodyshop who can mold the rear door pieces in to make them look seamless, but this is just my opinion.

 

thx for the advices~
just got a qoute from accolade, the kit is gona be usd$1650 shipped custom include, but not include the hood, the hood will be $245 extra~

 

Since really no one has really said this other then maybe one guy and i'm not a fan of beating around the bush.. DO NOT BUY FROM ACCOLADE! there are many members who have waited in excess of 7 months or more. There have been a few members who have even waited over a year to get their kit.

Check out the the Service, Parts & Tuning Review section on the main page. There is a thread on accolade.

good luck.

 

too ricey

 

I looked into them a few months back and received an email quote from them for $2450. I have also read that people have had fitment issues and had to modify various corners and tabs.

 

For over $2K that **** better be MINT!!! And installed!!!
