I followed the info in the "how-to" section of performance/modified and the results are absolutely stunning. I'm waiting for paint to cure so no final installed pics, but here's where i'm at today....sooooo pumped on new look.

When can I drop my sled off?

I used the same paint on my XP side panels. It's held up really well and has been through a lot of trees, etc... The one thing it needs is a rope guard for the pull rope as the paint has worn off there.


Nice pics and nice garage. You did a much better job than I did.

It won't be back together for at least 8 more days....waiting for paint to properly cure. Pics of final product will be posted once ready. As well as a before and after comparison. Boss seat and black simmons will also deal with some of the yellow. now what to do with the front springs??? anyone know price of black doo front springs? should i get stiffer front ones? i'd like to change to better shocks, but I've spent my yearly mod wad already on seat/skis. I've got a decal buddy scoping out the side decals, they will be transformed into something dark or carbon fiber. really just need to deal with the springs now.

Hey looks really good....as for the springs, what about that flexible coating you can get for tool handles and such. I have seen it at CanadianTire. Its like a flexable epoxy and you dip items in it, it cures and remains flexable. I believe it was in a yellow can last time I saw it and comes in many colors. I often thought it would work well on springs.
