What HOOD should I get for my 2003 400EX?! + How should I SHAVE my fenders!?

[Brauap]

Hey! I have a 2003 400EX and I am shaving the fenders and while I'm at that I thought I might as well put a hood on as well. It is yellow just for a little side note.. I do want a scoop but its not nessary. I dont not want a QuadTech hood, I think there nice and all, but too bulky and cost wayyy too much! I am 13 so as you can suspct I dont have that much money to spend! I live the Maier but I have stock plastic and I wonder if I just cut the plastic that holes the lights the Maier will fit? Please decus that.

Secondly, like I stated before, I want to cut or shave my fenders! As you may know and I certanly know, there seems like there are thousands of different styles. What do you think would look best on mine?

Thank You Soooo Much!!!

PS: Here are some pictures of my 400EX. The first one if just so you know what it looks like (its an old picture but not as old as the date on the picture). The second and third are just different angles so you can get an idea of what style I should shave my fenders!

Thanks Again!

[trx400EXtreme]

My old 400. Maier 250r scooped hood. i loved the looks of it and i think it only cost my like 40 bucks. pretty easy to install also. just had to cut the piece off the fender that held the light inplace and find a new place to mount the key and nutral light.

So I can buy a 250R Hood and it will hit!? SWEET!!! Is there a difference between 400EX Hood and the 250R Hood?

I'm a big fan of the Maier 450 hood.

maier 250r scooped hood I think it was around $40 Gloden west cycles

[blue_ex_rider]

Does anybody make a red scooped hood that fits on a 400ex. I have black maier plastic and was wnating the red hood if they make one. But I havent been able to locate one.

Yeah the 250r hood mounted up perfectly. im not even sure if they make a hood for the older style 400 ex's everyone ive seen used 250 r hoods. i wish i had more pics for ya but i had to get rid of some pics on my computer so i had to delete most of the pics of the old 400

[Brauap]

Do you guys like this look? also, is there away I could cut the fenders off 100%? I am just wondering about the bracket..

Tell me what you think!!
