Are the AC XF hood panels same as Viper?

[saleen347]

I like the vented AC hood panels. Are the Yamaha and AC hood panels the same?

If you mean the sidepanels that are removable with the clip yes they are the same. I pulled a trick on a cat guy once and switched panels. Fit right on.

 

[saleen347]

I mean the actual hood panels. Left and right side.

 

[cannondale27]

The ones by headlight and grille are different.

If you want the cat hood panels you will have to get the 7000 hood panels

These ones

I was thinking you meant the whole panel not vents. The viper hood panels are more flat than the cat hood panels they have a bit of a curve to them.

 

[saleen347]

They are the whole panel. With vents already in them.

I ordered the XF 7000 panels, here's how they showed up...... not a perfect fit around the "grill" and the windy doesn't snap in on the ends....

 

[Nytro40th]

If they are for the zr 7000 or xf7000 they should fit. As the viper and 7000 have a different headlight than the other cat models. I opened your link and it only showed me the pic for few seconds than changes.

Ah there you go lol, question answered even better with pics thanks Tapex

 

[saleen347]

Tapex, those are it. I use a low windshield so I don't care about that. How bad is the fitment around grill? Does it look bad? Any close up pics?

You can also order the vent screens and mod your own panels. Arctic Cat Hood Snow Mesh Screens - 2012-2015 ZR F XF M

I'll get a close up later, sorry not by the sled.. but you have a couple open spots for the "grill" and I would assume one could modify the grill to fit, but I figured let it rock for now.. nobody has said anything yet, mostly looking at the intake lol

 

[tapex_07]

You can see the area where the grill would snap in just below the headlight, and where both wings of the windshield are not molded up to clip to.
