Best.
fitment seems fine after a lot of work. fitment should be better out of the box so you don't have to spend twice that much just to have someone redo all of the mistakes to make it look good. not expecting perfection but it was waaay off before someone did some good work to make it look like that.

well i didnt make it fit... the body shop did.. they basically made custom brackets to help support hte fenders in places it needed it then shaved down areas that needed to be trimmed and add fiberglass where you need it... you work with the fender long enough it will fit...

I finally got some pics of mine. My girlfriend put them up on her flickr page. I tried to download them from the site but it wasn't working so I'll just post the link here.

whoa, those pics are scary. LOVED the look of the originals but would NEVER buy those Accolade replicas.

+1 on super shitty customer service. Just look at their posts here, how long it took to respond to PM's etc

I got them painted for $400 and I can't remember how much they cost cause I ordered them at the beginning of this year. I think they were around $400. I put them on myself so I saved some money there. I didn't have a body shop work on them because atm my 8 is my only car. I'm buying a smartcar next year so I plan on having a shop work on the fenders to get them to fit perfectly.
