I was just looking around and found this site that sells the invader CF hood for $280, they are about $550 everywhere else. Anyone order anything off them, is it a knockoff or something?

idk it looks kinda shadey to me, but i dont like the invader look. If i were u id go with the c-one style or zyclone.

but then again its your car, what ever you like is what matters.

good luck with finding a hood!

I bought from nopi before they're good some people say they ship stuff slow but I never had that problem though I never bought a hood from them before. Not much people are into the invader or stock looking CF hoods so I'm guessing they have alot in stock they want to get rid of. I prefer the Vis CF hood.

yeah too good to be true. prolly crappy quality.......

it used to be more i'm sure nopi is trying to get rid of their stock cause its not a big selling item. I've had great service from nopi.

I've dealt with nopi numerous times on different cars and their service is great, but if its not a name brand part its usually poor quality. i would stick to a name brand part, especially with something as important as a hood, you dont want to go cheap.

i have heard nopi is a good brand or reseller,,,
but i havent bought anything from them

nopi does that sale a couple times a year i got it at that price last year. The hood is great...you'll just wont have a latch and will have to get one. Mine is shiny still and I have had no problems with it. I had to fight fitment a tiny bit but that because my body kit bumper had to moved down to fit with the stock hood. So i had to move the bumper up a lil bit to match the cf hood. That is to be expected when you change around that much

chances are it's crapy grade; witch is no big deal if you plan to put it on your car and keep it garage kept.

Also it may have a few fitment issues... but CF is just like FG just with a diffrent grade of resin and fabric. it shouldn't be too hard to fit. (note the key-word)

finally, it may be overstocked or not selling so they just wanna get the crap out of their warehouse.

who knows, it's your risk, take it if you dare... muahahahahah~ (too much caffeine this morning; sorry )

I ran a GB on here a while ago through Nopi on sway bars. Yes their shipping was slow to some members, but I think everyone enjoyed their product.

Maybe not real carbon fiber?

It says "Carbon fiber on fiber glass"

maybe it's carbon fiber STICKER wrapped on fiber glass hood?

cool then it's a fiberglass hood wraped in CF.

those are crappy quality ive seen a cf hood from them and the weaves look like ****, unlike the known brands like ViS, ViS weaves their fiber tight and a nice thick clear coat to protect the hood, do it right the first time so you dont have to do it again cuz then youll be wasting time and money
