Default MV tuning hood wanted

Hey all,

Just checking if anyone on here has access to the MV Tuning hood. I’m looking to get one but the cost is crazy to order it and ship it from them directly.

Soooo I don't know if you can say this option is a replica or not since I don't believe that most of these companies with carbon parts have the original mold but have you tried sourcing it from Hong Kong? I remember seeing that hood and I think total shipped to USA is about $1200 give or take.

Yeah MVTuning is based in Russia. They have various products for the IS, I bought their decklid spoiler as it was the only one that I actually liked. I still love it a year and a half later.

Hit up Pedro Ramos, he sells MV Tuning product here in the states. He can help you get that hood.

Default I have bought their products for my 2014 IS 3 years ago.

First of all their hoods are made of fiberglass not carbon fiber. But, I can really assure you that MV Tuning products are top quality made. Finish is like 98% ready to paint. They have a commerce on eBay but I bought directly from them. Yes, they are from Russia. I strongly believe that their prices and shipping costs are fair. They even helped me bundling parts on lesser packages. Wood crate was really well made too. My original hood is sitting on it right now. Be aware of some cheap imitations around. Quality and finish are just that, cheap.
You can also contact Pedro Ramos ( Low'nLux) as he is an authorized retailer.
I tried to upload some pictures but just couldn't. Will try again later.

Thanks for the info. I pulled the trigger on Thursday and ordered it directly from them. It’s coming this week and I’m having my body shop do the install while they are doing the other repairs. Can’t wait!

Their product is top notch. I have their eyelids and the rear spoiler. The spoiler was broken during the shipping process, and they replaced it quickly.
