I zoom therefore I am.
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.

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.

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 
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.

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.
