I have a 2006 MXZ X black/black and am not really fond of the graphic package! I am going to change them but not sure to what. I have yellow knee deflectors, bellypan protector, A arm protectors, screens, black and yellow skis, and painting my windsheild black. Anybody have any suggestions or pics to help me make up my mind!!

Thanks for the help!

The goodies that you bought will give it a good touch. I would suggest taking a heat gun to the stickers and taking them off either all together or partially. In my opinion they put too many stickers on that are too big. I took an exacto knife to mine, trimmed them a bit and took off parts of the stickers. I don't know about painting your windshield, you might just want to buy a black one.
Good luck, post pics when complete!

I put a "sledwrap" on my machine, I have an 06 Summit and thought the stock graphics were goofy. My new graphics are awesome, you can't even tell what color the machine was now, but after only one season of riding, after sitting all summer I pulled the machine out and there are bubbles in the graphics. I had them professionally installed, now to fix it I have to cut the graphics and place "patches" over the wholes.

Sucks cause the graphics are great, but I think its going to get worse when riding season kicks off.

Moral: Don't buy a sledwrap.

When I had my 03 rev 600 ho adrenaline, I bought the 440 race kit and it came with the black windshield. I don't know if they still make that kit but I know they did sell it individualy too because I needed to buy it after a little roll incident. Doo a search - you may find it.

I might trade for your stock yellow one. I am getting the X package riser kit and it comes with a black windshield.

Graphics from a black '05 X. Clean, simple, best looking graphics on a black/black to date. Easy to swap out yourself. But, graphics - like most things snowmobile related - its to each his own.

I have the same sled and same accessories. Does yours look the same as the one in my avatar?

Thinking of taking off the decals and some of the yellow accessories.

Did you try using a sewing needle to puncture the bubble and then using a hairdryer heat the bubble and then smooth it back down in place.

I think the 06 X graphics look pretty good. The 05 is mostly black and white and has yellow doo writing so I think it would actually look worse on your sled with yellow accents. The 07 graphics are pretty cool. You should change to those. Here is a pic:

Other than the stuff he COPY's from the Manufactures (which I HIGHLY doubt he has permission to do so) his Graphics are Stupid.

His prices are good but he really needs to change that camo print he has. I contacted him about some camo graffics and he soon emailed me his camo print..... Looked terrible.

LOL, you must not have looked at his site very well then. In order to get replacemant A.C. F "Retro" decals you must show proof of ownership to the Dealership and Arctic Cat. Well, Arctic FX makes them and does them in different colors, so pretty much takes the fun out of owning a retro F sled. If there is such a thing as Fun owning an Arctic Cat

You didn't notice the "Retro Blizzard" decals for Revs? I don't think BRP gave permission for him to do that and I'm sure they wouldn't be too happy with him!
