2023 Rear Panel does not fit 2024-2025 - was this a design change? Any other options for Hyper Silver?

[mikecronis]

According to the BRP website, the 2023 "Hyper Silver" rear panel does not fit on the 2024-2025 models for some reason?
I have a 2024 Hyper Silver RT Limited. Options for their website are for blue, black, red, and white only, but not silver.
Was there a change to the design? Seems I can't get that color for 2024-2025. I want to replace the large rear-hatch with smaller the tail piece.

Brother, I just bought that panel for a '24 RTL, and went and looked at it, same number that says will not fit '24 RT. Thanks, I'm sending it back, but found the right one for the '24. Here is the BRP page:

Thanks. Not sure how to install it as it came with zero instructions.

I noticed that the "Hyper Silver" color doesn't quite match-up with the 2024 model as it's a bit more "white" colored than the body panels. It doesn't seem like there's any other options though.

I was able to install it from the instructions on the product page (they were not printed/included). Thanks!
I noticed you don't have to remove the rear seat, just bend the plastic "big" tabs around it as it's flexible enough, then snaps into place. The small clips were already "installed" on the inside of the panel.

The silver color they offer is distinctly more flat 2024-2025 "fits" option like a flat, chalk-gray color with a lot less metal-flake. It is close but it is obviously a different silver that is more pronounced in daylight. They let me return it for black. Black goes with everything.
They then have 2 black colors, but one is again off-ish and seems dark green?








When you click the 2nd picture, there's a top-down "green" image. None of them say what color they are, but I'm guessing the 2nd is actually a forest-green, because once you select it, there's a 2nd image you can see. Some really bad web-page-work here.

For some reason, their "silver" only for 2024-2025 does not match any Can-Am Spyder RT colors, only the 2023 rear-hatch does. Maybe they thought no one would notice? I wonder what the changes were such that the 2020-2023 tail panels don't fit? The "hyper silver" 2023 hatch looks dead-on.

Buyer beware!
