the previous owner of my 99 300ex busted the hood beyond repair. the 450r hoods are cheeper and easier to find. i think they look cool on stock plastics.
here are the steps
-get 450r hood, mine was 27 bucks shipped from ebay new
-remove 300ex stock hood(you wont need the little support thing that is on a stock hood or any of the mounting brackets)
-cut 4 small notches for the 450r hood to clip into.(you will se when you get the hood) and there not visible so if you ever want to go back to stock you can
- connect the back of the 450r hood to the tank cover thing( i drilled a little hole and used a zip tie)
- you can mess around with everything to get the exact look you want.
- i hear a heat gun will help for fitting but i didnt use one
its an easy mod. im 18 and i dont know much about quads and i did it myself in about 20 mins.
