Looks sweet. Is there anyway to get plastic like this for the Scrambler?

I read its the same process as the camo imprinted plastic, so I dont see why it would break any easier than any other plastic.

Actually it's a different process than the camo applications....that's what I had originally thought also. The camo is a vacuum/heat bonding process w/ a durable clearcoat. The "marble" and carbon fiber looks are an immersion graphic which is molded more directly into the plastic during manufacturing. I'm partial to the Pure Polaris carbon fiber myself.

For some reason the Lava red and Carbon plastics are alot more brittle then the regular colors, temperature doesn't seem to make a difference either. I haven't rolled mine yet to really know how brittle they are[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Some guys have said they just barely tipped it over and they shattered.

I've heard that it shows scratches more than normal plastic.

Heres the article I am referring to.

Quads are ready for the next level of customizing, I'm talking about body finishes.

Does anybody know where I can have custom made graphics kits made? Like ALBA custom graphics. I'm actually looking for an AMERICAN flag graphics kit for a Scrambler, something that wraps into the seatcover design (maybe). I'm dont want that straight edge, steril look that a lot of graphics kits offer. I want something that POPS.

Modquads done a nice job, its no longer a Polaris quad, its now a "HPD-MODQUAD". I want people to say "Nice quad, what is it?".
