accolade fitment?

not finding too many, but anyone with accolade products, can they chime in on fitment?

i'm specifically looking at their mazdaspeed front bumper replica.

but any accolade product opinions/reviews are welcomed.

thanks!

accolade fitment is crap.. you will spend a ton of money to get it to "kinda fit" and will still see gaps. The mold they're using just aren't right... this is for the accolade fenders only since it's the only one i've seen on multiple cars.

ok, thats one. thanks!

its because they offer the mazdaspeed one, and its a bit more expensive than the other replicas, and on their website (of course) their is a customer giving great reviews, and fitment is 100% perfect.

apparently there bumpers are much better I was looking into getting one. The fenders are messed definately though... also a big no no for me at least is they have ZERO customer service and its annoying if things go wrong.

Even the pics on the Website show bad fitment. If they can't get it right in pics = avoid.

looks AMAZING to me, we looking at different ones?

http://www.body-kit.com/customerreview01.html

i know the fenders are bad, but i here they are pretty good on the ms bumper, i've seen a ms version 2 bumper and it looks GREAT, no fitment needed.

and i cant afford a authentic one, i have to make everything cost less than 1k.

buy it then and find out for yourself

tsunamistyles said he is selling a front and sideskirts for $750.

also, if you go just front and sides, buddy club could be had for around the $1k mark.
