White, red, and yes, most definitely chrome!
Using less polypropolene would probably help out in causing less stress marks.

Longer front fenders may help out with the mud.

What kind of $ are we talking about?

if your going to change the design make shure you downsize the ridge on the rear fenders,you know the one that you hit your a$$ on when you land from a jump and are hanging back off the seat.also the front of the battery box needs to be moved back a inch so you can get the air box out with less effort.color choice would be yz blue and white SWIRLED together!

Have them make a race version.

On the race version make the rear fenders a little lower. On the front the plastic needs to come down even with the frame where the head lights are (racers don't need them), then flare out the front fender from there.

Do your contacts know that molds to produce plastic pieces that size could cost big bucks, upwards of $100,000. But if you could get enough orders then you can compete with meier.

Hmmm...

Clear plastic, so you see everything through the plastic. I would love to see something like that, but I can't visualize it...

Clear would be cool but what about purple/green colorchange(like the jackets)...ya know the kind that "change" colors from different angles or the kind when you get it wet it changes color.

I vote for silver or aluminum colored! I think race style fenders would be alright!
