I'm looking into buying the accolade fenders and i'm trying to find a good place with a decent price near or around the Chicago suburbs. If anyone could recommend a place that would be great!!

You may want to try AUTO WERKS [e-autowerks.com Northbrook, IL (847) 498-AUTO (2886)]. They are a sponsor on an other car forum I'm on.
The Accolade fenders, while look savory, are said to fit very poorly. The take a lot of work to look good.

I had good luck with White Eagle auto body in Naperville, both with my spoiler and with repairing accident damage.

Ihad real good luck with Naperville Collision Experts; I had a new bumper put on there and the paint on it looked even better than the factory paint and they blended/matched the paint very well.

I know these guys do great work (I've seen some of their cars) but they are said to be crazy expensive. You get what you pay for, but sometimes it's hard to justify. It may be worth it if fitment is as "poor" as other people have said.
