Yes, Results! Come on now people! We'll have ourselves a 04-06 true Evo rear conversion if we can get the interest high enough!

Well I would buy it whoever makes it as long as it looks like the Evo 9 almost exactly, and has excellent fitment. I will most likely buy from whoever makes what I'm looking for first, as long as it meets the simple reqirements above.

Our new rates to canada are lower now since we have secured new discounts with our carrier..

Also i never understood what some of you guys had proposed originally saying to team up with Cerious?? thats like Coke teaming up with Pepsi to sell a new flavor.. its just not practical.. we are competitors and we cant rely on each other for developments..

We cant seriously consider making a evo 9 rear with license plate holder and hope that the trunk comes out.. that would be foolish to have a product that is half a conversion relying on a company who we have no relationship with..

Still, I'm interested. The trunk is my least favorite part of the Ralliart.
+1 I really want to keep the crash bar. Unless u can come up with a modded one.

I'd be happy for Accolade to make both as long as a good job is made of it. Like I said I'll buy it soon as you've made it, and I'm sure there are plenty of people who would buy it through your website because your Evo 8 conversion is still the most widely used Evo 8 bodykit out there.

If cerious makes an Evo style trunk, then I'm sure they will get buyers just for the trunk. However similarly I think Accolade will find if they make both then most of those who want the Evo look will buy both together, possibly even with the Evo 8 front bumper and sides too.

The only thing that should be changed on the evo 9 rear bumper is that who ever makes this conversion should get rid of that whole for the hitch or whatever on the buttom-center of the bumper.

I'd be interested, and I would buy it too! Both the trunk and rear bumper! And, just to throw out ideas, how about a shaved trunk with no keyhole? Or will that be too much? We can just use the trunk release button and those of us with an aftermarket alarm system can program it to use the remote! I dunno, I just thing a perfectly smooth trunk would be even better, but anyways, yeah I'm definitely in!

We already began on the trunk lid, just need to know if people want to have a key hole or not, we only want to have to make 1 mold, and the keyhole would have to be molded in because of the design

BTW, our trunk will be available in carbon or FRP(fiberglass)

Also,

ACCOLADE: Many companys work together on projects, just look at Mitsubishi and Dodge/Eagle(Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse), GE and Pratt & Whitney(make Jet engines together), too many more to list. It does work

Just FYI
