Maier white plastic/steath black frame/K&K Graphics

What do you guys think? I dont have the front fenders on yet because one of the front fender brackets is bent from where I got hit by a car. When i get a new one, i'll be putting them on. I really like it alot better now. I think it was a change for the better. I actually put this up here because this seems to be a common combination that alot of people are interested to see how it looks. Well here you go. Enjoy!

Thanks man, I knew someone on here needed a picture of what it would look like with this color scheme. Fire red is a good choice if you ask me. thats what i got on my valve cover, water pump cover, and thermostat cover. it looks good. here look. Not a great pic, but i like the color. you might too. Its with my old red plastic so... it doesnt really do it justice.

looks good:D Imo I'd go black rims. that's just me. but if your painting them,I know i had a set powdercoated,and they took a beating and after a while didn't look so good anymore. So ,I had to get some black hipers;) good luck ...enjoy

in a couple of months report back and tell us how the whitle is holding up to wear. was the kit hard to install? i have never installed a graphics kit before and was wandering if its hard to get all the flames to line up. i also have neve done a seat cover. i have read about how to do it just never done it yet. how would you rate the k and k kit as far as fit and finish and quality.

if youve never done a seat cover its probably best to take it to an upholstery shop. but you should always do the seat cover first to make sure the flames line up with the graphix.

Oh man, i'll will tell you the truth, the seat cover is a pain in the arse. I had my mom help me out with it because really its good to have a few extra hands, one person to staple and the other one to stretch the material and hold it. Always do the seat cover first like quadwunner said so that you can just line the graphics up with it. Its easier to turn the stickers a little than it is to try and get the seat cover on the seat perfect with the graphics. But to put the seat cover on .. i first stapled the front on, then stretched it and stapled on the sides towards the back. then we folded the back down and stapled it. you have to pleat it when you do it so that you wont have any wrinkles. just mainly around corners and stuff. Mine turned out really well i think.... no wrinkles at all. Fit and finish of the graphics is top notch in my opinion. The hardest part were the graphics that go on the shrouds, i had to use a razor after i got it done because the holes werent perfectly lined up with the screws in the plastic. Also i had to cut holes in the front for the screws that mount the hood. It wasnt bad though.. they went on pretty smooth. Just spray down the plastic with a water bottle on the area that you are getting ready to stick the graphic to ... make sure you wet it down as good as possible. Then wet down the back of the graphic on the sticky part really well.. and that way you can pull it off if you dont line it up perfectly and it wont mess up the adhesive. Then get a couple credit cards and wrap them in about 5 or 6 paper towels and use that as a squeegy.

sweet. thanks. i think i might buy a red/black kit because i still have the stock red on but i deff want to change over to the whites. i just hope they hold up well to wear.

[450R_lover]

I would say that they will... white tends to not show scratches and stuff as well. my friend has an 05 white yfz and his still looks good. the plastic is shiny still and stuff. my red looked kinda bad. I think the white will hold up better than anything else.

Doesnt anyone else have any comments? Suggestions?
