My Spyder has a New Skin.

[SpyderWolf]

The last little piece of the puzzle I had been awaiting finally showed up in the mail today. I was able to get it applied to the Spyder before it got dark, and am very happy with it.



This allowed me to remove the yellow vinyl decal from between the headlights and, in my humble opinion, gives the Spyder a much cleaner look.

Awesome! Amazing how it changes the whole look. Really accents the uprake on the tail. I like it a lot!

Good Job!

You definitely need to take your time and watch the tips video on his web site. You can plan on a minimum of about 3 hours or so. It is sort of like putting on window tint, but with a whole lot more angles and pieces. As I stated in an earlier post, there are some bubbles in it and a few creases that may not be there if we went a little slower and worked it out more with the squeegee. Having sunlight available would be a big help as well, most of this was done utilizing a set of portable work lights.



Not a problem at all, and I also understand your point completely.

I wanted something a little different, there is already a 08 yellow Spyder in the small town we are by that is ridden by a nice 76 year old gentleman. Now the elderly folks will no longer be waving at me thinking it is him.

I also had a very hard time committing to the custom paint idea, as you stated once it is there it is done and I can change this out later if I want. I already have assurances that it does not harm the tupperware while on.

My wife's Spyder is set up with the CHAD whindshield, Evan's handlebar risers, the highway pegs, and mirror extensions. It is comfortable, but I wanted to keep mine more sporty looking.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Bottom line...it's a great ride...enjoy it! It snowed 4 inches here in MD today, so no riding...just last week, it was 70 degrees....geeeez....

Thanks to all of you for the comments so far.

I enjoy every single minute I get to spend on it! Sorry about the bad weather you are having. It is a little colder here than normal, but we are still planning on going on the toy run tomorrow. After the video Lamont posted I would feel like a chump if we backed out.

That's an Excellent Job!
Well done.

FANTASTIC!! Peter does great work! I'm considering a change of color and addition of graphics from Peter once he has the Corbin saddlebag templates done.

[NewRider]

Beautifully done - congratulations! I've been to that website, for those lovely graphics kits. Going quietly nuts, trying to decide which to put on my '09 yellow Spyder...sigh...

Thanks everyone.

He is extremely busy right now, working countless hours without sleep, trying to get out all of the snowboard designs and such before Christmas. We have been in contact with him about doing something "different" for my wife's red Spyder, but need to wait until after the holidays when there is a little lull in the action. He is a great guy to deal with as well.

Very nice! I noticed you had your seat back support yellow, is that powder coat or paint? Now that I see yours I am interested in doing that as well. I know, always a copy cat.

Thanks! That is actually the BRP Sport Rack and Passenger Back Rest. You can buy it color coded to match your Spyder.

Peter is fantastic to work with, He went down to the dealer the next day after we talked and did the templates for the rest of the panels I wanted and did custom fender-wraps for the fenders. The normal kit is 25 pieces and mine was 44. I paid around 380 for it plus express shipping. From the time we first spoke to when I got the kit was two weeks. I wanted to get it on before I went to TRI riders rally in Branson last year.

[SpyderWolf]

1,000% and would highly recommend Peter to anyone who asks about it.

[dave01]

WOW, that looks great. Its nice to see a Spyder that doesnt look like all of the rest of them. No mistaking you in a crowded picture, or on a speeding report." Honestly officer it was someone on a Spyder just like mine that ran the stoplight."

[DannyS]

Here are some more photos. Every one keeps asking me where I had the air brush work done. Only a few people recognize it as a wrap job.

[SpyderWolf]

Yes, there is definitely no chance of getting out of any kind of a ticket with these wraps on. As if the Spyder was able to blend in very many places already.

Yours also looks great Danny.

[DannyS]

Your wrap looks great against the yellow, I love the way his graphics blend in and adapt the color around them. The use the background color to complete the design.

[SpyderWolf]

Thanks, I was actually torn between 3 of the designs but ended up going with this one because of the brighter color combo. I was hoping for the best against the yellow, and it worked out great IMHO.

After Peter gets some much needed rest from the holiday rush, we will be talking to him about a new design for my wife's red Spyder as well.

[Roger]

i really do like it alot but they should make it to cover all of the front fenders not just half it urk's me alittle.

[NewRider]

I suddenly realized, after a period of weeks, that the fenders only are one-quarter covered. This makes no sense to me. I wonder what Peter's raison d'etre was for this oddity...

[Star Cruiser]

I LOVE it. It is so cool and different. I've always been partial to the Geometric. The colours are really nice and the design aswesome. Kudos on the application as well. I thought it was paint until I read some further comments on the thread

[SpyderWolf]

Thanks for the comments.

This particular kit only came with the 3/4 fender coverage, while some others come with full fender coverage. I am planning on getting some extensions for the fenders from him when we order my wife's graphics kit.
