a lot of companies have end of year clearance on their sticker kits. I got my Ducan racing sticker kit and seat cover for $49. That is a lot better than $120

cutting the fenders really looks cool. alot of guys on this site have different syles for that. i dont no what color your quad is, but you could get a seat cover or like 400extreme said, you could get shock covers. www.xgxracing.com has some of the sickest graphic kits that i have ever seen. they are a tad bit pricey but are reasonable for the quality you are getting.
you could also get a trick bumper, or some billet parts. hope this helps!

Yeah, you can probably pick up a graphics kit pretty cheap. Check all the usual online places (Rocky Mountain ATV, Chapparal, etc) for their clearance items.

I like protaper style bars and handgaurds make it look good.

handgaurds and any aftermarket bars. I got a new bumper for mine, really gave it a good look. New fenders also are nice but there gona cost a lil more.

if it is just for looks I would get

graphics on closeout
shave the fenders
take your stock lights off and get a carbon fiber hood from
www.feathercarbon.com

the hood will cost $90

and the graphics on closeout should be cheap:D

if you have $500-$600 I would get

some new tires razr's around $200

Used nerf bars around $100

Closeout graphics kit around $80

Feather Carbon fiber hood around $90

and some handle bars used around $30

thats $500 even

you might get lucky and find some used parts for real cheap

you just need to tell what kinda riding you do and what kinda look you are going for:blah:

they look good from the start.... dont' cut your fenders.... that makes it look like sh1t. Try a graphic kit and rims, or paint the frame...

only cut your fenders if your going for a mx setup. cuz imo, nothing looks works on a quad than big tires and shaved fenders.

things to make it looks good
-nerfs
-handlebars
-handguards
-tires
-headlight covers or cf hood
-graphics
-bumper

any of thos will look good:)

Hey
I was mybe thinking about painting the frame but it seems like a lot of work
how much does it cost to have someone do it all for you

also i dont know what kind of a color scheme, I think that orange plastic, and like a maroon frame would look good...I dont know
any pics
Thanks
