Here's a few from inside my home made paint booth! I just finished clearing it last night about 12:00. I still have to color sand and polish, but with snow coming, I want to ride!!
I have to go to the hardware store to get rivets to put the front pieces back on, but I'll post some completed pics after I get it back together this afternooon.

Here it is...
I will have to color sand and buff yet, but it's snowing here, and the paint needs to sit a day or so more before I buff it.
The red REV behind mine is next!

I've seen a couple sleds that way, I'm not sure if that's the look for me. I like the classy yet high tech look. I may polish my skid, and re-paint the plastic grills in the hood and side panels with a Kosmic Krome. They are painted with a silver base and clearcoated now, to get rid of that dull gray plastic look. I like the billet aluminum stuff.
I though about blacking out the seat, but I do like to have something to break up the color. If I can find some running board supports that are billet, painted or coated with a silver, I will probably black out the seat.
I'm going to re-paint the exhaust covers, though. When I was installing the left one, I dropped it, and it put a few scratches in it. I just painted over the stock letters, and then removed them before clear coat, and when weeding the letters out I didn't think it turned out the greatest... I could outline with a pinstripe of a contrasting color but ....?

The grills are sprayed with a silver metalic base and clear coated right now. I will probably spray them chrome later, but I have to order that paint yet. I love the billet accents, and am always looking for more billet stuff. I wanted billet wheels, but after hearing so many negative comments about them, I sent the ones I had back before installing them.
I don;t want to dye the seat black until I have something to set the back end off. I'm not going for the Darth Vader look. I do like the crome and billet. I also thought about buying a few extra stock fairings, and using them to mold some carbon fiber stuff.
If anybody reading tis knows where to find a set of carbon fiber tailpipe covers, pm me, I may not want to go through the work of making them myself!
