find a nice looking graphics kit and a good seat cover, it'll change the attitude of it a lot... never really been a fan of that front bumper.. depending how far you want to go you can take your upper arms cut the ends off where they bolt to the frame, get some good hiems and weld a nut on the a-arm tube and wala you have some caster/camber adjustment -- do your homework to make sure you want to do this or not... then you can paint them if you wanted to... i'd take the shock covers off, ya they help keep mud and junk off but i've seen a lot more shocks go bad because no body removes them when the wash the quad than just ridding with out them...

just my two cents and just things i might do if it were mine... but it looks pretty nice and looks like its been taken care of.. dang i just realized your bike is almost ten years old ... man time flys

a Quadtech hump seatcover would really help you out

Just make sure you take your time and do it right... they look kill tho my buddy did it.

I always loved Nac's graphics. They even come with the seat wrap so it looks even more killer! :D

You could get new wheels.I like hiper wheels they look good and are strong.Expensive yes but imo worth every dollar.I think nacs makes mud plugs for the stock rims,It all depends on how deep your pockets are.

1st option - imo - Gloss white frame, a arms nerfs, new bumper, iron cross or rath, New tires and wheels some itp's on Hipers, gloss white motors accesories, anti vibe stem, new white 250 r hood, new seat cover or seat (quadtech hump), new rpm axle, new shocks

2nd option, basically go black instead of the white.

Powder coat wont cost much and it will totally change the look of your quad.

p.s. i can't stand your front bumper lol

Seat cover and graphics kit would be the cheapest and most noticable change. Also a new front bumper, My favorites are the duncan front bumper and the prm baja bumper

definately some graphics(east coast atv looks sweet), new bumper?(blingstar imo)
new nerfs and tire/wheel combo(black rims)

some powdercoat would look great too
go with, gloss white frame, chrome upper a-arms, red lower a-arms, and red swing arm

then youll be rollin in style
