Cheap Invader CF Hood???, Too good to be true? Options

[mikecelica]

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.......

[chucho]

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
