Nice looking plastic, but other than color, it is essentually the exact same as stock. The lights are seperated, and the front fenders arent removable, but it looks almost identical to stock plastic. NOT IMPRESSED

Just my opinion though, it holds no weight.

well, the way honda made the 450r plastic..it's kinda hard to make it any different.. they did all they could with the hood, i just hope they make a smoothy type hood for it also to go with their plastic

Nice I hope they make it so the headlight is removable.

Looks like stock plastic. I will stick with stock. It is alot cheaper than full bore to replace. I guess if you just ride in the dunes that stuff would be cool. If you race MX or XC all plastic just gets hammered.. My 2 cents.

Fullbores plastic looks awesome, the main advantage is the one piece front. Also their color options and fit are unmatched by any other plastic manufacturer.

fullbore imo is chit...buddy of mine had them and went racin and wrecked...700 bux worth of plastics gone....retarded....id rather buy maier or stockers before i dropped 800 on full tore plastics...yea their colors are awsome...but their prices are retarded...the 450r in the pic would look a tad bit better if they took out the head lights....but then it woud look like it has 2 big nostrils...

o yea....and the plastics arent removable...so ud have to shave them...cutting 600-700 dollars worth of plastics...not me...o yea and its only 1 piece....ud have to take the entire front plastics just to get to the radiator

Wow - everyone's so negative...

I liked them myself. Nice restyling touches. Sometimes small differences are much better than large ones. I personally like seeing the factory look tweaked & made better than seeing some potentially goofy complete redesign of the plastics.

The one piece front is OK, I suppose - many people don't cut the new 450 fenders anyways - because they are much smaller than previous quad fenders (you can see around them and they don't catch as much air)

The divorced radiator scoops are nice. I also like what they've done at the headlights.

I really like most of Fullbore's plastics - they are a little pricey in my opinion though for what you're actually getting.

only $530..thats funny..i dont see how they can justify charging that much for plastic..if i had a wreck and broke that stuff id cry..id prolly be real bummed out if i broke my 320 maier plastic.i just dont see how some of these younger people on here afford this stuff..i have a job making 5.35 an hour workin 40 or so hours a week and i have a car payment,insurance,cell phone bill, and then gas, and then i might have enough money to put up to save for something for the quad.

Generally Fullbore offers full fenders and race cut. Their prices arent to bad compared to some stock plastics.Their 250r plastics are like 258 ea or 500+ for a full set, Honda want about 800 for factory replacements. I agree with 86, they tweaked it just right and came up with a nice design.

Well have you seen how much OEM plastic is for a 300ex/250x? Its more than fullbore! I believe they wanted around $550-$600 for stock plastic. And well, IMO 300ex maier is just ugly!

A buddy of mine was riding at the dunes with Jeff from full bore and he is making a second set for the XC and MX racers with a removable hood. The new stock from the factory is $80.00 for the rear and around $120 for the front... The new price is $599.00 for the full bore. Also the Laker Custom Plastic look as good or better and for $375.00 that is a good price. I run Maier for the reason they want to sponsor and help riders unlike full bore who cares less. Maier is by far not the best, but they like to hook up racers and that is what they did for me, I would recommend you send a resume in the fall. They start at 50% to just giving the plastic to expert and pros.. Full Bore has Plenty of Dune Goons to sell that expensive chit plastic too. My 2 cents. Not bias or anything...

Yeah I remember when I broke my stock plastics and looked into OEM, I wanted fullbore but my dad ordered UFO witch ended up being 50 dollars more and uglyer! I was pi$$ed. But I really like it. I like the way they did the head light the most tho.
