ok so im tired of what my 2003 400ex looks like (white maier plastics wich i cut to a race cut... red gastank cover.. red aarms... red netting on nerf bards....) so im wanting to put some 05 palstics on my 400ex but i dont know what colors i should go! i do not want to powerdcoat the frame or anything ( going to keep the stock silver-liek finish) since i am only a kid... i was kind of looking @ red 05 plastics with a carbonfiber race hood and gas tank cover and keep the aarms red along with the netting on my nerfs.... but i also liek black plastics with a carbonfiber race hood and gas tank cover and paint the aarms and get black netting for the nerfs.... im also looking for a graphics kit with a seat cover but i cant seem to find any good ones... could you guys help me out here!?!? if i find a cool graphics kit that matches the red or black plastics then i will go with the matching color... ( the seat cover dosent have to be a continue-ing of the side graphis because it can be a gripper seat cover that is a solid black) so could you guys please help me find a graphis kit to help me with my desision i would preffer a racing team graphic kit ( shuch as alba.. K an K.. nacs ect... but iff it is a kick *** graphic set that is not racing i might go for it... ) thanks a bunch guys!!!

To be honest I kinda like your current setup. Im partial to the first generation style and not sure if i have seen the white with the black sides and red tank. White is a good color also doesnt show scraps or scratchs very much.

No problem thats what this site is for! Some really solid and well priced wheels are ITP Baja's Great for trail riding. If you wait a couple months the winter months seem to be good times for part outs of whole bikes then you should prolly be able to pick up most of the stuff your looking for at pretty good prices.

i like that how it is but i really like the red old style fenders with everything blacked out. something about that just makes it look sleak and stealthy. lol. steve

Yea glad to see you changed your mind about the platics but you could change your seat cover... I don't like the pink/red seats for some reason. maybe put black rims and a black seat cover. You'll still have enough red and enough black.

X3 :macho ...The black plastics or red plastics for that matter show every ******* scratch from trail riding or from your legs rubbing the sides during racing...trust me i know! The color combo you have now looks great.
