I must say it is refreshing to get someone who is passionate about their product & business and who actually makes you feel good about spending your money with them! Recently I decided to wrap my M8 SP and called Jordan at Arctic FX with a challenge of wrapping the full top section of the tunnel, with a pattern-match, in addition to the rest of the sled. He was happy to help and I'm happy with the results. I have no ties to ArcticFX but with this being my second successful wrap from them, I thought I give credit where it was due. Quality & service are top notch.

That looks awesome man! Definitely one of a kind. I like arcticfx graphics a lot. Personally I would have kept the windshield white, but we all have our own tastes. Looks great! now how about some orange headlight covers?? :face-icon-small-sho

Thanks guys!

Appreciate all the comments.

Av8er - I think it was a little over $400 but I'd have to double check a credit card statement to be honest. I bought the hood & tunnel kit from him and then just extra material and finished the top section of the tunnel on my own. I actually wrapped the windshield using the stickers that would have gone where the side vents are.

I've been thinking about doing the headlights orange actually. I think it would look awesome. The thing that holds me back is I don't want it to cut down on the light output/functionality of the lights so I'm torn.

The running board trim, gussets and bumper are all powder coated. Just did it this summer though so can't give a real review yet but would be happy to mid-season!

the skid rails white with some splashes of orange on them would really finish this thing off. looks great.

Yeah, you and I think alike - ivE been thinking about coating them white for a while. Seems like it'd be a PITA to disassembled the skid entirely though.

its actually not too bad. it takes a couple hours to get it all apart, but it is by no means hard. i have mine all apart right now to get the suspension arms in the rear skid powder coated. after seeing all the chips in them, it makes me wonder how long a coating on the rails would last... it would like badass when new, but maybe not after a couple years. i was going to get my suspension arms coated white, but after i saw how beat up the "snopro orange" coating was on them after 3 years and 2000 miles, i chose to go with black so you wouldnt see the chips and scratches as bad after time........

Sweet sled! But I highly recommend NOT powercoating the rails as the heat treating process will weaken the aluminum. I learned this first-hand. Anodizing would be better option.
