wow, you can even see the ZELE logo in the front. who are they trying to fool?

I think it sucks. The Zele kit is the reason why I even started considering a 370Z.

doesn't look bad, but the idea is just not cool.

arcticreaver 05-06-2009 04:34 PM

well basically they are just coping the kit looks for looks.

the only difference now is that we have to get some more details. as in QC and overall quality of the kit.

i bet if the price is significantly lower than ZELE's and the quality is good, people in the end aren't going to care and go with these guys instead. but can you blame them? cheaper these days are the way to go.

but morally, accolade seems to have no moral ethics whatsoever

nogoodname 05-06-2009 04:36 PM

but they are the ones who will be selling more........... these days...eh


there's a Gt-R in the background, did they rip that one off also......i can't beleive they chose the same paint colour....lol

if i had a 370z, and if Accolade's Kits are quality product and their QC is good enough, then i'll def. buy it... no sense in spending Thousands of $ of your hard earned money in a kit, just my opinion

exactly, why pay more for a product if you can get the same for a cheaper price? i'm probably going to be like you, i mean if the quality is good and the price is lower, why not?

I disagree. If im going with this kit I will be buying the real deal. We might as well just say screw the legit brands and buy chinese knock offs for everything. With something like a car that I am passionate about I WILL be doing it right. No cheap knock off parts no short cuts. If I have to pay a few grand more than the guy who took the easy route than so be it. Delaware is small and people around here half *** their rides as it is. I wont go that route.

I had the real deal JDM CWest Version2 front bumper on my car and guess what it was high-quality, GREAT! But whats not so great is that other companies started making it and you know what ? One of them actually produced a high quality copy in that black urethane like the original and you couldnt even tell...

I wont pay the redicuous prices JUST because of shipping oversea's...sometimes someone will come out with an equally good product HERE and hey you can save some money....unless thats no object to you :p

They shouldn't be using pics of the Zele car to say that is their kit they are selling on their site though. Zele could take legal action I would suspect if they really wanted to be **** about it.

I think it was just a matter of time. I am not for Replicas but not against it ethier. Did Zele put a patent or copyright on the product? If not their fault.

For me I'm not spending 6k for a body kit that needs a 3-4k exhaust to look right. For some where "Money ain't a think"(JDP) have at it. Now if the Zele kit was made out of this superdooper material where paint will never ever chip off and it will NEVER crack then maybe its work it. Who even knows if Zeles fitment it 100 percent perfect OEM fit and finish?

Yeah definitely... they ought to be ashamed of using Zele's pic to sell their knock off version replica.
