Even if Accolade does make Zele's kits for them, it is still pretty messed up to release the same kit under your own name at a cheaper price. Either way its bad business.

Wow hrm.. This sucks. Even though the Kit was very expensive the likelyhood of seeing 1000 of them was low. Im sure this kit will be more main stream now.

If Im going to buy this kit I would make sure its the real deal. Fitment quality etc.

They are using ZELE pictures which is not right. If they want to make their own replica kit, their first step should be - a. make the kit; b. take some pictures of the "ACTUAL" kit on the Z.

It would be hard to believe they have a kit made and copied already when I know legit companies who sell the Zele kit havent even recieved them in stock yet!
