Default Accolade body kits

Hey guys and gals i'm in the market for a new body kit and just wondering if anyone has or know of anyone using the ACCOLADE range from america? just asking the question cause for some reason its cheaper to buy a full kit from america (including shipping) then it is to drive and get one from Perth, if anyone would like to see the body kits let me know and ill post the site

They look just like charge speed body kits to me man, try carmate.com.au they have a fairly good range or bodykitz.com or even the spoiler shop from Perth ; )

only difference is price bud these are alot cheaper. we use the spoiler shop at work and i dont like the finish they leave on there parts when they send them out i know they still need to be rubbed then painted but theirs feels like they pour sand into there primer first, ill check out those other sites though and will let ya know how i go.

This kit 2004 - 2005 Subaru Sti WRX WRC Body Kit ACCOLADE ?

T'is going to be a BIG job, so I'd suggest pricing EVERYTHING up before purchasing it 'including wider rims and tyres to avoid it looking like its on train rims'

I'm pretty sure you mentioned you're a panel beater so you'd know what's involved but if you haven't looked into it you'd be looking at modifying quarter panels, bonnet 'I don't have this model so I'm unsure if the bonnets are the same', and due to the products being used 'Thermo Flex Fiber', its most likely you'd need to respray the entire car to get it to come out right 'think of the issues spray painters have matching bumpers to the rest of the car now-a-days'.

Dependant on your situation you may find it more viable to go out and purchase an STi of your model or possibly newer 'which would include selling your car'.

Check out Tinos' 'Engine Build Back', thread and see some of the pic's he posted 'note Tino purchased the L'aunsport kit which would be of better quality then this reproduction'.

Interested to know what they quoted you for it.
