2012 MZ3 Hood Swap

[Jeffe11]

New to the Forums here, first post so sorry if I posted in the wrong area ect. My question is I am thinking of swapping out my stock hood for a custom hood or possibly a MS3 hood, if they would fit properly. So to reiterate my question is 1. would a MS3 hood fit my MZ3? 2. would any of you recommend a hood swap (purely for looks) and where to look for an aftermarket hood.

Thanks for bearing with my questions! (rockon)

From searching the forums, I have read in several places that the speed hood will not bolt on a non-speed 3. I believe the front fenders and front bumper would also need to be changed, but don't quote me on this, as I gave up after reading it wouldn't bolt straight up. As for an aftermarket hood, I'm not too sure. I thought I had found a hood on ebay but now I can't find it. Maybe someone else can chime in here.

For the speed hood to work on a mz3 you're gonna need ms3 fender, bumper, and the grille.
