dam dude, the purpose of getting a new hood is to improve the look of your quad, not to make it look ghetto.

dude, stop everything your doing, right now, stop everything!!! now go out side, and take that thing off your quad, right now. Before you do another thing, go outside in your garage and get that thing off your 450 right now. thanks.

I think maybe if you put a crease in the middle and maybe make the front like a maier hood it'd look good.

hit it with a hammer or something....that pic may have to go to one of the magazines for the ugliest 450r ever...sorry dude thats just plain wrong to do to a 450r or any honda for that matter

i dont understand how you have all that stuff on your quad, complain about money after that, and then put that metal crap on your quad. man, thats sorry

I dont think that looks bad at all, for something made at home prolly while being bored as hell, it looks decent, atleast from the pics :P

wicked..

like other ppl said put a bend in the center and round off the front and then polish that sucker up so its chrome and you might be onto something there.

Props to you for trying something different on your own. With alittle more time it could look good.

When you get your aftermarket hood to replace that. Please dig a 6' hole and put in. Well looks allright but like other people said, pust some bends in it, paint it or polish it.
