Accolade doesnt sell it, i wouldnt mind buying from them, ive heard good things about their products, the only thing is i think the right side of their cspec fender set needs adjusting, but besides that they are okay..

but if anyone knows where to get it holla'

accolade makes the worst fitting fenders in the history of fenders. I have a forum member's car sitting in my back driveway with them on. 1/4 to 3/8th's gaps at best, overall fitment of 3 out of 10.

rx8mod83 09-24-2008 03:11 PM

LoL, ive heard Veilside has fitment issues too, modifying isnt cheap i guess.. i think its the nature of plastic materials in general.. we have some local rx8s in our club here who run the accolade cspec fenders, granted they did put some work into it, but overall it wasnt that difficult or so i hear, and their cars came out looking great.

Jedi54 09-24-2008 03:15 PM

the only thing worse then Accolade's fitment is their customer service.

I got Mixed Reviews on them. But I would rather buy from Accolade vs. ViS, Extreme Dimensions or ilovebodykits :lol:

veilside / shineautoproject / accolade >Greater> FTL = extreme dimensions / ViS Racing / Ait Racing / ilovebodykits

the VIS stuff isn't too bad. xdeedubbx has their CF hood and it looks pretty good.

yeah but their body kits suck, seibon > ViS as far as hoods goes, accolade > ViS as far as body kits goes.. as far as the accolade fenders does anyone else make widely available fenders, nope. because nobody wants to get into fenders for our car, because they are complicated manufacturing with many mounting points... so thats why we are kinda of just left with the cspec fenders, because accolade was daring enough to make them for us.. they are known for crazy hot widebody conversions fender panels etc. that other manufacturers rarely would try to create.

Example WRC wide body fenders. Drools:

:lol: wow, stick on hood scoop, I thought those were for 96 silverados with swampers and whips on 'em, I though wrong.

cmr333 09-25-2008 08:25 PM

i couldent find those on the hookupshops website. whats the price on them?

Never L8 09-28-2008 03:43 PM

I have my turnout gear on, so let the flaiming begin.

I kind of like the first hood scoop. I've been wanting a little something else for the hood. I think it looks tastefully done. Not too much like those twin scoops you see on the Silverados. But...for that kind of money, I'd rather get a go fast part.

Why not buy a hood with real vents?

G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY 09-29-2008 11:54 AM

because its easier to put something on with 3m tape than to unbolt 4 bolts... duh

getting a hood to align correctly does seem to be a pain in the ass if sevenstock is any indication... :uhh:

^Oh sweet! What are the odds? Apparently 100%.

As for the real vent question...I would modify the hood so it functions as a real vent. Even a nice CF hood only saves you one pound in weight. Not worth the money, IMO.
