well, i have had all 3:o

oem.....best quality....best fit.....lack of colors:mad:

fullbore.......very soft......scratches fairly easy.....expensive......looks good and fit matched oem

maier.....atleast the set i had didnt fit worth a hoot:mad: but i had the old style and i cant compare it to the new stuff. the new maier does look better....imo

i bought the new maier and the only thing that don't line up is the petcock hole. it is about 1/2" to far forward but i can still turn the gas on and off.

I checked out their websites of Fullbore and Maier and both of them were awful, especially Maier. Hard to navigate and you couldn't even see what a lot of the stuff looked like.

I wanted to see the new shiny plastics and got sick of not being able to see any photos.

here is my black maier, i really like it but it took a few days to put on , i didnt get the sidepanels because my graphics cover them almost completely, i didnt use the add ons that go on the bottom of the front fender, i liked it this way more...it was kinda hard to get it right, but for about half the price of fullbore and twice the looks of oem, i like it:D , if you are made of money go with fullbore, if you want something that looks good and different than stock go with maier. they have tons of colors which you can see around this site

Heres My New Maier Red.. So Far Its Holding Up Great... The Fit Was A Bit Less Desirable Than OEM (Notice The Hammer In The Pic lol) , But After A Couple Hours & A Few Beers It Fits Great heh.

Full Bore Innovations (http://www.fullboreinnovations.com) was hard to navigate? I always thought it was pretty easy, but maybe something changed.

Anyway, I really like my black Full Bore, and I plan on buying a set for my R too.

Maier is the best plastic IMO,,,it is definately cheaper than Fullbore(especially for me:D and it looks just as good to me,,,,My Maier took me about 10 minutes to install and it fits perfect so i dont know why some people have problems,,maybe Im just lucky!!
Here is a pic of it before I bolted it down )

The Maier and the Fullbore just don't appeal to me. Cut fenders look ugly to me plus $150 for front and rear Honda bodywork suits me just fine. Opinions are like *********s I guess...

The Problem I Had With Gettin Mine On Was It Is A 3 Part Front Plastic, 2 Fenders & The Hood , Not Just A 1 Piece Race Front Like Yours Chad (You Probally Had The Lucky Thing Going For You Too heh)... I Was Thinking I Should Have Gotten A Race Front Though About 1/2 Hour Into Getting The Stuff To Fit lol :p I Had To Rearrange Brackets & Add Other Brackets To Get It To Be Mounted Good, But Overall Deff Worth The Time I Spent & The Savings From OEM Plastic To Look Like It Does & Thanks Dan , I Like It Too... Can't Wait To Get All The Rest Of The Stuff Done To It In Spring :D
