Hi
I have a 99 400ex that had race plastic on it when i purchased it. Recently I got a maier stock front plastic and lights with a bunch of other parts. the race plastic is a gray carbon fiber color. The bugeyed plastic is a light gray. You will be able to tell up close that the front and rear plastics don't quite match but not from a distance. My question is if I should keep the race plastic or switch to the iconic 400ex stock plastic.

Thanks

That what sucks about race plastics, cant keep the stock head lights. I had that decison to make as well and i decided to cut my stock fenders. Best of both worlds.

Here is my carbon look bug eyes.. I like the stock look, the fenders on the aftermarket plastic is a little shorter then stock 400 plastic is.. Once it gets hacked up I might cut it. I think the bug eyes and race cuts look better then just the hood and race cut but that is me..

Is there any way to hook up two sets of lights. I already have trail tech lights on my bars and if I put the stock plastic on I want a way to hook up those lights too.
