look around at other stores, there are alot of better kits out there that are better made, and fit better and are more trusting companies then accolade. Have a talk to ofey, he can help alot with body-kits, he got mine for me. and i didnt have any fitment issues with my body-kit besides a little bit on the side skirts was forgotten to be cut out, (but it was marked out to be cut just they forgot to cut it out)

also lukeaday has the same kit(as me) he also had only 1 very minor fitment problem i believe.

well it depends because fitting this kit will cost more than fitting a normal kit since its a widebody and will take alot more time working and fitting the wider fenders and door parts..

my kit total cost me $2010 shipped, +painting and fitting that i got for free cause father and uncle are spray-painter/panel-beaters, but estimate painting and fitting to cost around 600-1000.

the kit will cost more shipped here since it has more parts to it than yours, painting will cost bit more because of more parts to paint as well but if she gets that kit advertised on ebay she wont need to paint it since its already red..all that's needed to pay is for the fitting.

mines only normal, not wide body, so only rear front and sides. if you are after the wide body look. there are a few companies that make a suposed widebody GT kit, the UK 400Hp evo body kit(for the normal lancer). FQ400 widebodykit. the illusion kit from the evo for the normal lancer talk to Blanka, he has the illusion kit from accolade that is a wide body.

seen here http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=4266& ... c&start=15

just scroll down the page to see the pics of it fitted on his car unpainted.

if i didn't get my kit painted for free, then my kit would of cost about 400 to 550 to paint, i got a few quotes before getting my uncle to paint it for free.

cheapest was 400 to paint. that red evo kit for 5grand whether its painted and pre fitted is still alot of money for a kit. plus shipping. you could get most of a carbon fiber kit for that much. and you dont need to paint CF

@ blackey: ok may be i will try to inspect it first, and than give the seller an offer, and see what happen..If he can cut off the price for around 1800 from his price now, i think its a pretty good deal :)
