Good luck finding one.

That car is a Belgium Mx3 owner.
He orderd it when a batch of 10 hoods was made.

So a limited production.
Btw; he sold it to a Dutch member for dirt cheap haha.

It is a design by Pakfeifer (if i spelled that correctly), they are no longer around it is the best designed hood IMO for the MX. you can find them. If you search on the forum you may be able to find the contact point for Pakfeifer US and it is possible that that person can still get them :)

I don't think you can get them new anymore... Fortunately I bought mine off a local member.

That one in fox's link is the other invader style.

Why not contact Oscar "EZ_4_FUN" and see if he's still able to make them anyway? It appears he still visits the boards so he might reply with an answer.

Last I checked with him little less than a year ago, he could still get them at 600 a pop. :)

I haven't talked to Oscar in a while, but one time I did and he said his CF/FG guy went out of buisness cause things slowed down too much. Wish I would of been able to of gotten those CF fenders done :( I even had a quote ($1500)...

WOW!!! 1500 :shock:

For that much I would invest the 100 dollars it takes to make the molds and the extra 100 for the fabric and give it a crack myself. I have thought about it as the AWD added a bit of weight to the car. My problem is the way I want to do it I dont have an oven large enough! :)

Ya, that's why GB's are essential when getting stuff like that done, hoods, bumpers, fender, and hatches. I liked the guys work and I've never done CF before, could be an expensive experiement, but although at $1500 I would also own the molds, which means I could of recovered the cost with every set made thereafter. With my website I was planning on starting to get made and sell custom parts, the fenders would of been one of the first. Sadly, it takes money to make money.
