A road gator hit our ST-S the other day when we were coming home from a weekend trip and I did not realize all the damage that was done till I was cleaning the Spyder the other day. Needless to say, but I will anyway, I needed to replace several pieces of tupperware so while I was on the parts site I checked for the new ST panels being in stock. Lo and behold they were so I ordered all the pieces I needed for putting the 2014 ST-s panels on my 2013 ST-S.
One thing I did notice was that the new panels are listed as Circuit Yellow and not the Metallic Circuit Yellow as I thought they would be. Not sure what that means, just an observation.
And yes they are a little bit on the expensive side.
Will post some pictures when the pieces get here in 5 to 10 business days.

Congratulations Carl! I'll be waiting for the outcome of this mod.
Thanks for sharing. If this mod will resolve the inherent overheating issue with the current ST, I still think
the inflated prices is still worth it! Will you be doing the mods yourself?
Good luck. We all are looking forward to your report and pictures.
Guess I will have to give up my side air deflectors to put these new tupperware.
I did not see on the 14 RT Limited the color Pearl White or any other color called White.
This is all about the ST and has nothing to do with the RT as the 2014 RT has a new motor and new under-tupperware layout.
In the ST line there is a white for the ST-S and those panels will fit the other models. Only difference in the Limited is some accompaniments like GPS, radio, Givi bags and some other pieces parts.

Snoopy and Benggolf, I will be doing all the work myself so it will not take but half a day when I get the parts in hand.
From my original post about only needing two 2014 ST panels and then thinking I needed four 2014 ST panels it will be interesting to see what is actually needed. When I looked at the parts drawings last night I was again thinking I only needed two because of the way the parts are designed and I may still be correct. But again, with actual parts in hand I will know better.
Stay tuned. I expect the parts to ship early in the week like maybe Tuesday. I have had excellent results with shipping from BRP so we shall see.

Good news: Subject: Your Can Am Spyder US order has shipped!
I am expecting the parts either Friday or Saturday or maybe Monday as a last resort.
I have been searching the web for 2014 ST-S pictures and am now pretty well convinced that you will need four panels and not two to make a complete installation on the 2013.

I went to the International Motorcycle show in Novi Michigan yesterday and took the attached pics of the New ST Panel and it's two middle attachment points where the two parts overlap. The BRP rep tried to tell me I only had to buy the rearward panel to make the change on my 13'. There were no 13's there to show him his error. Regardless, they looked "Sweet" and just from that point alone is reason to do it, but I might wait until I hear that they make significant temp changes before I drop $1200+.
Thanks for the pictures. And you can really see that you do need a total of four panels to complete the job. The new panels definitely give the ST a cool factor look.
Mine are in transit and might be here today, and if not today then Monday for sure, I hope.
I will take some individual pictures of the panels when I get them so we can see first hand how they look.

Doesn't look like as much of a "scoop" as I've seen on the RTs?
My first Picture may be a little misleading, the second one shows the offset more and it's definitely there.
What I found interesting is that the smaller top vent on the rearward panel seem to get smaller or maybe because it's a screen on the 13's and a hole on the 14's but it's definitely different.
