Question New trunk for a 2005 Lancer ES

Hi guys okay so im looking for something Like this as i am about to upgrade my rear bar... I want a boot like this.. is this the regular evo 8 boot or what? ive noticed its rounded and i thought the evo boots were flat... would someone be able to help me with this i dont like my lancers boot anyway, the plate holder gives me the s***s so yeah, I live in Australia by the way so any australian part dealers would be appreciated greatly... Or could i just go and buy an evo 8 boot, would that fit? ive heard about how they are more rigid etc. which doesnt concern me as its just a boot to me at the moment haha...



Thanks for the help guys
-Ghost

Oh and happy easter to you all.

first google accolade and see how many different people have been ripped off/screwed over.
next search them on here and see how many just in this community got screwed.(reason they aren't a vendor here anymore)

for the evo trunk it wont fit that bumper. The evo trunk is flat along the bottom and doesn't curve like that one. That looks like a custom shaved lancer 04-06 trunk.

the trunk will bolt on but you might have to re work the bumper to fit the flat style trunk.

That's not looking too good dude, they're having a lot of set backs, so there is no recent word on accolade? like they haven't picked up their game or anything in the past few years?

How would you suggest going about getting the trunk shaved? and getting the plate holder filled in? and cost wise how much etc? can a local panel beater do it perhaps or yeah...

they got banned from here just last year if I recall.... risk them if you wish.

I've read on nasioc that the subaru guys seem to have good luck with accolade.. I for one wouldn't give them a dollar.

yea man I would think so.. I'd probably just weld in some filler plates in the correct shape and angle.. smooth everything out with filler and your good to go.

some guys might fiberglass it but I'd think that would eventually crack over time and look like doo doo.
