if you design a new intake vent to replace the cheap stock one that has better flow and doesn't clog up with snow, i will buy one. or do you sell just the fabric that you wrap your vents with?

Just PM'd you my order, so a up for you.

Those blue on black look awesome, if all my riding gear was black instead of yellow, or if I needed new stuff I would have went with them instead of black. But didn't want to look like I just stole the sled when I ride it LOL!

responded as requested, you can have all your vents built any way you want.

Thanks JC... I love the white on the blue... Do you have a blue honeycomb hood vent I could see on that white hood? Can I mix and match like that? White side vents and a blue hood vent? hmmm.. I kinda like the sounds of that. And the new shock tower vent and XP intake vent. My 09 I think has vents on the airbox. I just got my sled the other day, so need to look more closely. But it looks like vents on the front of the airbox, so that intake vent might be real nice. hmmm.. decisions... Thanks again for the photos.

Yep you can mix and match colors any way you would like, I will try to get some photos of blue on white and post photos on dooTalk and my website. I will have more info & photos on the shock tower & intake vent soon.

Snow is on the way this weekend here in Idaho will be soon

When you take pictures of the blue vent on the white hood, if you have a black honeycomb hood vent with you, could you take a photo of that black on white as well. Trying to make up my mind. Might doo white side vents and a black hood vent. Thanks again man!

Anything new on the scull side vents?
Still waiting for a complete set so I can order.

Jon, Very nice vents. I finally got back up to IP and was installing the vents and other goodies on my 08 & 09. Very nice product, good instructions and templates. I was a little concerned about the strength of the panels and hood after cutting them but I can see you did your homework on these things. After riveting everything on they are very sturdy and look sweet. I personally think that they improve the looks of the sled where some of the others I've seen look cheap and make the sled look cheap. Anyways thanks again for a very nice product. I sent you a PM and will get some pics posted soon.

Hood vents in an 08 & 09. Best looking and built vents I've seen yet.

XP Shock Tower Vent & nose \ grill Photos

How much for the shock tower vent? That looks very functional.

quickdraw the XP shock tower vents $59.95 a pair or $32.95 each + S&H and the Cold Air Vent will be $34,95 each + S&H, I have 6 colors of powder snow pre-filter that repels snow and water that will be on shock tower, intake & all watercraft vents.

Got My vents today and they look awesome, now I have to get busy and start cutting some holes in my new sled, WOW that just doesn't sound right?

It will be worth it

What are folks using to get the clesnest cut of the plastic?

Well at $185.00 Canadian for a belt, keeping the clutches cool is my goal, I'm just hoping my alignment is on!

I would use a dremmel

I have found that drilling holes in corners of areas to be cut out then using a heat gun or (wifes blow drier) and fresh blade in a utility knife works the best and leaves the cleanest cut, and believe me I have tried everything.

I have had many people tell me that worked & looked better than other ways they had tried

I have worked on them some but not complete yet

Water & Snow Repellent Pre-Filter Color Photo

I have updated my Website

I started with the hot razor knife method which works great but takes a little time. Then I went into an after-market Dremmel tool kit and found a "fiberglass reinforced cutting wheel" that worked great. The standard carbon fiber cutting wheel just melts through the plactic and wears down too quickly. If you use a Dremmel be careful to keep the chuck over the piece that will be cutout and discarded. If that chuck hits the plastic it will mark it up in a heartbeat.

The vents themselves are the best quality of any vent kit out there. The quality of construction and materials are second too none. After the install these vents actually improve the looks of the body panels, IMHO. Very nice.

'quickdraw' thanks for you input on cutting the panels & I am very picky about the looks of my vents as well as how well the work

PS did you get the rivets yet

I use the heat gun to heat up the panel (soften up the side panel) not the blade on the utility knife then it cuts like butter very quick and easy.

Here is a photo of Blue Honeycomb Hood Vent mounted on 09 White Hood with Black rivets

I hear people talk about other vents on the maket. I go onto their sites and look at the fit and finish of thier vents and it isn't even close. Look at how even and uniform that hood vent follows the shape of the hood lines. The color combinations between the rivets, mesh and frames give a ton of options too. That blue vent maked the white hood look very nice.

I haven't got the rivets yet but thanks for sending them.

Does the vent frame itself come in colors ???....Example...White frame with blue mesh....Blue frame with white mesh???...I like the idea of the honeycomb standing out a bit...

Well got my vents installed, now just need snow.

heres jc's vents on my new 09 summitx nice product

I hope you dont mind That I posted a photo of your sled on my website

No problem at all!

Just dug up this thread to give you a up, with all the bitching and ranting threads lately on here it has put your sweet a$$ vents deep in the pages.

But to keep with the theam of complaining I was short 14 rivits with my kit, but don't worry Jon instead of getting on here and whining about it I decided to take some rivits spray them black and get on with my vent installation.

Anyway to the top for a great product, and check out the sweet 154' Summit X on his homepage !!!!

"edit for bad language" I apologize about the rivets; I will send ya 14 Black rivets & backing washers.

Don't worry about it, will likely cost ya more in shipping then they are worth.

Probably would but I will send them if you would like its not the cost of the its the fact that you should have received them in the first place. I will also be having a (team Meeting) on attention to detail

Tell ya what hang on to them for now, I'm thinking of maybe gettting some of your shock tower vents and if I do you can send them along then for extras.

Please O Great God of Snow let it snow!! Let it snow!! Let it snow!! & please bring everyone home safe and sound from the early Test-N-Tune rides (AMEN)

Those are N.I.C.E. I'm in for a set. Let me know when there ready to ship 08xp yellow #0000002
