thats sick dude

[AtvKid4Eva]

Thanks.

[exrider008]

that looks awsome! and u dont have to cut the plastic under the hood, i just left mine alone

[AtvKid4Eva]

Yea either way looks good but i am gonna cut mine i dont like seein the yellow.

[440_Turtle]

kinda defeats the purpose of the hood if you dont remove the plastic inderneath it, the hood feeds air to the oil cooler so remove the plastic to get the true effect

[patches85]

Those hoods are sweet but 160 bucks is a bit much!

[AtvKid4Eva]

Yea i just cut the plastic outta the middle so the air will flow and i only paid 70 for it from a guy off here :D

[exrider008]

this is going to seem like a pritty dumb question but if i were to cut the middle out of my plastic like u did will that actualy help keep it cool?

Lol, yeah I know. But I just bought that front end, rear shock, and bought a houser stem and clamp today so funds are running short. And I can't decide which bumper to get, I like about 12 different kinds.

insaneracin2003 how much do you want for it?

[my250ex]

dude you should definately buy the black IMS Intimidator bumper. it would look sick on your quad especially with the the a arms. search ebay for "IMS intimidator" and one should pop up. i just bought a regluar intimidator and it looks so nice

Who're you talking to?

[my250ex]

you

$160 is a new cam, carb or piston, which would do much more for the bike than a hood that can crack or break. They look good but there's no way in hell i'd spend that much money on looks.

I agree with you Rico, luckily that was the only mod mine came with:p

[um_33@yahoo.com]

it is pretty sisck

[AtvKid4Eva]

Yea thats y i waited so long to find a used on cuz i didnt wanna spend that much on one but luckily i got a really good deal on this on.

[codeman583]

are these hoods made for the 400ex, or are they just the 250r hoods installed on the ex? do the lines match up well?

[AtvKid4Eva]

mine is made for a 400ex and it lines up perfectly. was very easy to install.

[400exMO]

Mines for a 400ex as well.

what makes you say that?:ermm:

[Rico]

Those RTC scoops scare the holy **** out of me.....:scary:

[prolineracing]

dude get 05 or 06 front plastics like mine

check it

[prolineracing]

mines a 450r hood but it fits the 400ex's 05 06 plastics perfectly with not adjustments. it looks sicker than pitting the hood on older plastics and aftermarket prices are rediculous so if you want to save mad money and still get the killer looks of a hood then get stock 05 06 plastics trust me they are stronger than aftermarket. the only bad thing is they are 1-2lbs heaver but who cares 2 lbs isnt much at all.

So you're saying it's cheaper to buy newer plastics and a 450r hood than an aftermarket one for the regular plastic?:huh

And IMO the older style plastic looks way better.

[prolineracing]

yeah its wayyyy cheaper and it looks sooo much better.

[prolineracing]

mine also came with the bike too. haha i doubt i would spend 160 on a hood. i would rather buy the maier c.f. hood for like 50 is i wanted a hood soo bad.

also, i have been in some mean and nasty crashed and my hood hasnt scratched or cracked. just the enamil has a small small crack but you have to look really hard and close but otherwise im satisfief. if the lights were in there instead of the hood i would have had to replace everything(bulbs casings and harness)

Explain to me how it's cheaper.

[prolineracing]

okay. well depending where you get them and what kind of plasctics you get are a **** load of money. for afretmarket plasctics it can get up to 500 bucks for just the fronts.
stocks are strong and look good but they are heave and the color fades faster.
you can go to the dealership and get a pair of stock plastics for aaround 100 and the hood is another 150 again depending where you get it from.and if you want even cheaper go with a maier hood for 45-60 dollers and they make a c/f hood also.

[400exMO]

I thought you'd save mad money? The cheapest route that you said you can go is still 145$. Where a brand new carbon fiber quad tech hood is 175$, and it looks better than the maier.

[prolineracing]

it all depends on where you get it. maier front plastics can get up to 300 and all other aftermarkets are more than that. so yeah you save mad money.

You make no sence. He'd save mad money where?? Stock plastics with a quad tech hood is nearly the same price as what you did and it looks better. No money saved!
