[big400boy]

ok so this winter i rebuilt my 400 and ran outs cash so i threw it back together. i did the engine and painted the frame and replaced bearing and such. now im sick of the orange frame and red stock plastics. im gona do some more stuff to make it look better i hope. im thinking about goin with blue plastics like the quad of the month for august but i dont know weather to go with laker or fullbore and i need more ideas to make this thing look better. its runs good though so thats good. any suggestions, work with me. heres some pics

i say all it needs is black or white plastics

New wheels and tires with black fullbores.

[big400boy]

i was thinking the black fullbores to but im worried about when they scratch they dont lookverry good anymore. thats y i was thinking blue. i dont know yet. any thing else?

[big400boy]

i never thought about white plastics really. does any one have a picture or can do some photoshop with an orange frame and white plastics?

[mooseracerX]

I'd agree with the other peeps. Personally I HATE the colors blue and orange together. ;)

black is fine, ive ridden mine every where with black fronts for awile, no scratches look bad or anything. i would go black

edit: i just thought of a nice combo. buy orange plastic, and possibly a carbon fiber QT hood, and either paint or powdercoat other items such as a-arms, swingarm etc.. black.

[big400boy]

thats a good idea. i was thinking about getting itp black baja rims anyways. i could make the swingarm, a-arms black. how about the bumper? paint it or leave it?

[big400boy]

where can i get the carbon fiber qt hood?

[bean2080]

i would get some black plastics with some orange graphics, i think that would look sweet with the orange frame.

[250x_kyle]

i got some itp baja 10 by 5 3 to 2 if ur interested send me a pm.

[Ruby Soho]

PC the bumper that would look sweet

and quadtech hoods aren't made anymore, but there on ebay every so often

[big400boy]

how do you put a hood on your plastic? does it just go right over the top or do you have to cut the plastic up a whole bunch? liek i said iv never really done anyhting with hoods before. does some one have some up close pictures of how it fits and how it attached?

Man Ive been looking for one for the longest, but with no luck.. Im still stuck with my old smashed up one.
I agree with a few other people, white or black, preferably black. It doesnt show scratches as bad as u think..I run xc and mine still looks decent after a wipe down with armorall or pledge.;)

[big400boy]

alright ill probaly go with black fullbores. 500 bucks is a bit much but i think it will be worth it.

Yeah i like it, it's a tough little quad. It's got good power for a 300 i put a cobra muffler on it (i know cobra sucks but no one makes performance parts for bayous). A jet kit and K&N filter 25" ITP mud lites. The only thing about it i don't like is the lack of ground clearance. But i have been thrashing this thing for years and it keeps taking it.

[big400boy]

yeah we scored the piston in ours a wile back so its bored over now but i dont know evactly how much. they are pretty tough for 300s indeed. they just dont seem to break that much.
