If you are talking about black front and rear fenders and a red radiator shroud, then I think that NSTYLE has a kit you will like. I think they are '01 model year kits, but they are going around e-bay right now. They are red and black and white and look sweet. I just put one on by all black Raptor this weekend. I love it. It comes with a matching seatcover too. Go to (http://pages.ebay.com/ebaymotors/) click on "Other Vehicles" under PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. Search for "Raptor" and there is currently one set for sale. As of my writing this message there was still over 2 days left on the auction. Good Luck!!

Big Dad, I guess our GNCC bikes will be twins. They are an average difficulty task to intall. You HAVE TO HAVE a heat gun to warm the vinyl to stretch/compress it around curves. I had an upholstery shop put on my seat cover. Most people recommend doing the seat first so that you can match the stickers up to the seat, but I did the graphix first and it turned out fine. Mock up the stickers first to get an idea of where the edges should go in relation to the edges of the plastic. Use windex or a spray bottle with a mixture of a little dish soap and water, spray onto the adhesive side and to the plastic. Align the main edges and then use a credit card or squeege to push all the moisture out. Once the main edges and flat parts are stuck down, use the heat gun and your hand to stick the rest down. It took me 3-5 hours total to do the whole quad, including the cleaning stage. I did it in my living room with the plastic off the quad. I don't know if it would be easier or more difficult to do it on the quad. Good luck! Will I see you at round 1 in FL?

That sounds complicated..... My stock stickers came right off. I cleaned with a wet towel and buffed dry with another. Took about 30 minutes to put my Alba patriot stickers on without any special tricks or heat guns. Has been 6 months and they are as shiny and glossy as the day i bought them. And they have been pressure washed and the edges are still STUCK.
