They should send her the panels for testing; she's probably been one of the earliest ST owners that discovered problems... and her bike seems to be afflicted with ALL of them!
BRP could not find a better tester to find out how well this does, or dosen't work
BRP added some additional parts listings for the ST last night so this morning I spent an hour going through these listings and came up with the following information.
To add the 2014 ST panels to a 2013 ST you will need a total of four (4) panels.
Evidently the BRP rep I spoke with was not too familiar with his own product. Or least not as well informed as us SpyderLovers.
I have attached a picture of the part numbers I gleaned from the BRP listings. The different part numbers are highlighted in Circuit Yellow Metallic, since that is the only color in which I am interested.

Well it's good to know my eyes were not playing tricks on me
I see the 2014 calls the color metallic, but not the 2013. Do you think they changed the paint?
Well, right now I am 99.99% sure that it is the same exact color because when you look at mine in the sun there is definitely metallic within the paint. However, there is only going to be one sure fire way to know and that is when I get the panels whenever they finally become available from BRP. Geesh, how long can this take...

Thanks good info. I see the new front side panel shape will block some of the airflow from the Foglight/vent, but more than made up for with the newly created vent. So for me without fog lights there may not be a lot of benefit. It would be nice to have the parts in my hand and installed to know for sure. It would also be nice to know the cost.
Unfortunately, since the parts lists show these panels as NOT being available they don't list the price. Not real sure for the reasoning behind that move.

BRP could sure solve a lot of problems and complaints if they would give the panel issue top priority. Having to wait until December 30, and no price listed only gives a teaser that makes people more angry.
People are already willing to throw down cash for the panels. Sounds like a win-win for BRP if they get on it and make the panels available now.
PS. Were I working for BRP--flamingo would be getting a care package in the mail--very quickly.
OK: we are watching, and the ball is still in their court.

Of course none of the colors match the 2013's so I'd recommend white and get them painted.
Any idea if there's any other parts that we should order or if this is enough?
I'm not sure that's true. You can still get the Black, Silver and Yellow, just maybe not on your model. E.g. the silver comes on the Limited now instead of the STS and we all know it's the same darn panel. Am I wrong?

The replacement of 4 panels is going to be pretty darned costly for us 2013 ST owners!!!!
from verkia trikes for 1285.00 plus 400 for paint i ordered and i need to get them painted so who knows what that is going to cost because it needs primer and 3 stage paint http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...-with-shipping
I'm not sure if we know if it's the same color Silver or not yet...
Bob I think you are right. In 13 it's called magnesium and in 14 platinum silver. Why they had to change that is beyond me. I told Steve at BRP that they should give us 13 owners a break on the price or better yet free. He didn't ignore me, he wrote back and said he would keep me posted on future developments.
