Do any of you guys have any inside scoop on the fenders for this kit? Does it increase the width of the fender and by how much? Anyone seen it? Quality?

Here's a pic with strakes...

 

sounds like fitment isn't that great and that some people don't like the company

looks really cool tho but what would those vents do besides looking pretty?

 

VERY cool vents but you're right; fitment is H O R R I B L E for most people, requires quite a bit of fabrication to get them to fit right.
Also, forget about their customer service, it's unfortunately horrendous.

P.S. those strakes scare me.

 

Ummm, I guess people haven't noticed that's the fenders off the Mazdspeed kit type 2.
It's a very rare kit because it was only available in Japan. It's a whole fender replacement. I think it adds a tiny bit of width, but I think it could be an optical illusion.

I wasn't aware that the MS Ver2 kit was ever actually available in Japan. I thought it was just a one-off thing that was being shown around...

Accolade picked up the design of the fenders, but as it's been said they require EXTENSIVE fitting modifications to make them fit and the company has even worse customer service...

 

Thanls for the link. That's a great looking kit. Is the original kit available for sale in Japan? Any links?

 

Well, I think Tragically hip has the low down on that kit.
I thought it was an official kit supported by Mazdaspeed. But since I've never seen it other than that pic, I don't know if you can get it directly through Mazdaspeed.

I think I'll stick with the official Mazdaspeed stuff.

But that kit does look really nice.

 

haha Neo, you LOVE PURE MS stuff..


BTW, that kit looks like ***.

 

terrible fit, worse customer service

 

Who doesn't? :P

 

Looks sharp.

 

I love and want these fenders(accolade). I cant conferm or deny any of these claims that the fit is bad or the C/S sucks. Can any of you?

 

Throwdown has them on his car. They fit like crap. The few people who've been able to get a response when they've emailed the supplier have all been told the same thing, "you installed them wrong". Guess nobody knows how to install them correctly

 

wow that really sucks. horrible customer service. maybe someone should order a set and ask them to install it. hahah and watch them to see what problems they face.

 

Yea I really wanted these until I heard all the complaints about crap fitment.
