My Spyder has a New Skin.

I had been thinking about having my Spyder custom painted for a while now, but did not really want to commit to that. After much searching I found a graphics kit that I really liked and decided to give it a try.

Here are the results:

I would like to give credit to Peter at www.spyderdetailing.com as this is one of his designs and I believe it turned out great! He is a great guy to deal with and I will highly recommend him to anyone who may be interested in a graphics package for your own Spyder.

Thanks!

I am not that good of a photographer and think it actually looks better in person than it does in the pics.

Peter also has 3 photos that he Photoshopped on his web site that are pretty cool. 2 can be found on the Spyder page, and the other is on the Hall of Fame page.

Lamont, if you check out his web site and see what he has done on Sea Doo watercrafts and Ski Doo snowmobiles, it looks like the possibilities are endless.

Great job applying the vinyl - it it trickie even with the 3M controltac. I found that out while applying the carbon fiber vinyl on my Spyder. Took 3 stressful hours!
That is a very unique look - cool!

Wow! That's fantastic!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. It is kind of funny because I have not ridden it with the new graphics on it yet. I keep looking at it and finding it hard to believe it is my Spyder.

No sunglasses, I think those only come with the half naked lady models.

I was thinking about buying your blue powder coated rims on EBay, but they ended up being too light of a blue so I am sticking with the black.

As with everything in life there is no such thing as perfection. There are a few small bubbles and a couple of creases here and there. The details in the design help to hide them some, but you can find them when you get real close to it. I am hoping a day in the sun will cure most of that issue, but we haven't had any decent sunshine here for a week now.

Really nice. I have a package from them but I haven’t put it on yet. Was it really hard to put on?

I've never been a fan of graphics kits and thought they all sort of looked the same-- kind of lame and weak style-wise in fact, but THAT'S WAY COOL! Love it ! ! ! !

There always has to be someone in the crowd who isn't thrilled by it..sorry...

It is definitely complex/intricate and unique...IMHO, the Spyder gets enough attention on its own and there are very few in my area anyway.

The great thing about a paint mod. is that it really doesn't matter who likes it, as long as you do...this design obviously took some time and deliberation to create and you should enjoy....good thing is that in the future, if you decide you want something different, you can always do it again.

I like your front rims though...sweet look...I'm a hindle lover as well! Try Evan's handlebar risers for more comfort and less vibration...they're a great mod...

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!

We actually need to go back to Hilton Head Motorsports to get my wife's 'S' button installed. We are planning on heading there this Friday, are you going to be off work then?
