Twoboosted on here showed a photo of one of his buddies with a modded out Super Dude, that had hand laid carbon fiber in the grille. Couldn't really see much, but it gave me the thought of wrapping those black funnel like trim pieces around the fogs. Don't think I'd be doing hand laid, but a vinyl wrap might look good there, along with possibly the "B" pillars. That gloss on the "B" pillars just shows too many fingerprints and swirls. I think it would be less expensive to just wrap them, instead of replace with OEM flat black like are on the XL, and STX. It's just something to keep in mind for now. I'll take the "shrouds", for lack of a better term, down with me around Christmas, and stop at a wrap shop or two.

I'll check them out, thanks. I did find on Amazon a 1'X5' sheet for right about $10 bucks if I do it myself. Looks like winter got here though.

It's 22F and windy as all get out right now. Just looked at the 10 day, and it won't be above 32 for at least the next 10 days. Some snow each day, but not much accumulation, yet. The running joke is we blame it on Canada.LOL Then when it gets hot up at the Soo, we'd blame it on the U.S.!!!!
I keep wondering why I don't get some heat out in the barn.
You guys have some nasty stuff coming in don't you?

That's cool, no pun.
I got out last week and changed the oil/filter/antifreeze, and greased up the tractor, in anticipation of the wonderland of white crap we're sure to get sooner or later. I'm just south of the snowbelt off Lake Michigan, but we sometimes get a Nor'easter off Lake Huron, that means megasnow, if the lake isn't frozen over.
Good thing, this winter I don't have to leave at odark thirty, and come home after dark, deal with ice/snow for 300 miles, and all the nice things involved with heavy haul. I might not even mind when it drops to -30F or less anymore. I'll just turn on the TV, the 'puter, and have a nice leisurely cup of good coffee.
