Like a lot of FL350's I received mine from the previous owner naked. Knowing how difficult it is to find plastics and wanting to save a buck I thought I would try to fit some ATV plastics. Recently I was talking to a guy who does some body work for our company who just moved into a new shop. When I asked him where it was at he asked if I knew where Full Bore ATV was. I was familiar with where it was at and also familiar with Full Bore. They are a company that does aftermarket ATV and SxS plastics. I stopped by pick one of our vehicles up from the body shop recently so whe I was there I ducked in to Full Bore to see if the might have any blend that they might part with for cheap. I came away with some Raptor plastics that an employee recently took off his quad. I had a little time yesterday and this is what I came up with. (damn forgot I can't post pics from my phone. Wil add photos in a few.)

ok here are a few photos of the mock up. Initially I was going to trim just the fender section out so to start I cut the front section down the center to see how much I needed to trim. When I placed them on the frame I decided I liked the coverage as is.

At first I was not to keen on the color and thought I would paint them but after getting them mounted I think I might keep the orange.

Made some brackets that mount to the stock locations and used some zip ties for added support.

I actually mocked up some Polaris scrambler fenders on mine. Have yet to finish them but this is how they looked before trimming. Almost thought of adding a hood and leaving them as is.

Got the idea from the guy I got my front bumper from. His are finished.

Is that interesting in a good way? Or like when your girlfriend asks you if you like her outfit and all you can come up with is hmmm interesting.

I don't really mind the way it looks without fenders but I get a lot of sand coming in when I ride in the sand. Went over to the dunes today and they worked pretty well. Definatly much better than nothing at all. I anticipate that it will change over time as the guys over at full bore let me dig through their blemished stuff and take what I like. I have not seen a set of RZR plastics yet but I thought about trying some to see if I can incorporate the hood.

Reckone, I like the way those Polaris fenders look. I also like the red fenders from your insparation photo.
