Hi guys,

Here at MFX wew have been hard at work not only making top quality kits, but we have been developing, new, better ways to make them.

We have just released our new "M-FleX Technology". These parts are much more flexible than your normal FRP, so they are less likely to break with a minor hit. This is much the same as offered by other major Japanese brands, without the price tag.

This is the first of many quality improvements to come in the future as MFX will be at the forefront of body styling technology. We don't just sell the parts, we make them, here in Australia.

Here is a pic of one of our S13 skirts;

..and here is our S15 Big mouth front bar.

MFX Parts fit better and require less preparation for painting, which saves you
money in the long run.


Anyone else seen this yet?
Ill certainly be looking into using it come time for a new kit.

MMMMM...Bendy...

They look the goods. It's about time some of the bodykit makers in Australia adopted that technology.

yeah seen these around a while ago, would be excellent for drifting, just depends on how hard it is to repair if it actually does snap

reasonable price too

saw these just a little while ago... great deal same price for either flex or glass... still haven't got much of a range though, so once they get a few different items, I'll probably look into getting one.

Basically if they have the kit on the site then they can make it in flex as well.

You use the same moulds just the process is different.

great job... the side skirts look like lollies when twisted... i can see the pottential...

do you ma4ke doors, bonnets, boots, windows from the same material??? it would be great if everyone had a flexible car.. u have an accident.. no need to swap info.. no more insurance ppl... woohoo...

The downside will be drifter/dodgem crazy hoons...

If they are anything like the jap stuff, they can still break if you have a big prang...there is just a higher damage threshold than conventional rigid fibreglass.

Like you say gunmetal thay have their limits but I rekon if you bumped it into a ripple strip or something the damage would be far less than with the old FPR stuff.

Ill be trying it when I put the new kit on the silvia. Once I bounce it off a few strips ill let you all know just how durable it really is :P
