i like the stock plastics. I would save the 400-500 dollars spent on plastcis to go towards something else. i like the cut look on the fenders, shave the front fenders a little bit. I have black plastics and dont like them because of all the scrathes it shows. i like the red.

It would cost you around a grand to chrome that frame. :cool: I think yellow plastics look good on 250r's, and mabey a trans blue frame?

If you leave the rest of the colors stock, and put on black it looks sick.

For 175 pappy can paint it to look chrome-like. i think it's cool. i wouldn't have it chromed i would have it pc'ed to look chrome. i don't like yellow at all i think it only looks good on 400ex's.

Mabey it's just me but I'm not big on the chrome P/C, atleast not for something like the frame. I think it looks like the stock honda silver, and basicaly it is just silver. Here is what my kickstarter looks like in chrome p/c.

I agree with Andrew, I have had a couple peices P/C chrome and I sold them because they looked nothing like chrome. They looked more like silver paint than chrome to me. I ended up chroming everything instead:devil:

It is expensive though:eek2:

there is a new p/c chrome that looks just like chrome. I know ims/roll stuff will be avail soon with this option. it comes chrome and titanium.The titainium looks like tinted chrome. It costs just as much as chrome though.

Do you have any pictures of that chrome color?

No i dont, but a company local to me that does all of my products ECP uses the same company. The company will not do atv parts because they have a contract with ims/roll. They have samples in stock of the colors and they look just like chrome... i mean just like , not kinda like. They have a couple of coil springs there. Then you can do trick stuff like candy blue over chrome and it looks just like anodized.
