Yes, we can get just the fabric.
Got to see this stuff in person at Haydays and WOW!
The new seat is really nice, 2" taller, narrower than stock, firm but comfortable.

Here you go...As it will go onto the sled...except, I am going to add one little touch...it will show when the sled is finished...and I think a LOT of people will want that final touch...
The lighting is terrible, but it will look really nice with teh Red underneath in sunlight...Should be fun...

Here is the one that I was NOT going to post, but I finished it, and really liked it...
Here is the optional Headlight Delete, so that you can eliminate the heavy light, and slap in a couple PIAA lights...will shave a couple pounds...but makes for a nicer sleek look, IMHO...

Well, it certainly looks different. Nobody has posted a weight yet. Wondering how much heavier it gets once its wet. The stock hood and windshield only weigh 3.8 lbs so its probably not the best bang for your buck if you're looking for weight savings. Should vent pretty good but some may say its too porous. Stock hood and the Roest Racing IP vent is my choice. $500 is a pretty bitter pill too swallow.

mesh is plenty fine enough for all types of snow...that is just a "competitor" trying to find something to chatter about...these have been out on M sleds for several years, and have never had an issue in the finest snow, and the wettest snow...only suggest would be to not vent your clutch cover...or it might get a small amount of snow in it...That being said, Skinz test the crap out of their stuff, and will stand behind their stuff...
I did this not for the weight savings, but for the venting...I have an intercooler right behind the headlight...Which also tells you, I carry enough power to overcome any weight issue...the material is not subject to increased weight with water, unlike the foam in your stock hood...
As to the price tag...it is exact same price point as other mesh hoods (+/- a few $)...
comparing a full mesh hood to a gauge vent is apples to cumquats...not same league...Roests $109 for 1/10 the venting and forces you to buy a gauge mount...but nice quality vent..

We are comparing apples to cumquats. Only the apples cost a buck a pound and the cumquats over 5!! The Roest IP vent comes complete with the gauge mount of your choice for that price. Combine it with some well placed lower vents and one could argue that it would be more than adequate. IMO the stock hood looks like it fits better. If you're not worried about weight why ditch the headlight? It works great and only weighs 3 lbs. Works better and looks much better than 2 Piaa lights.

I passed your interest along to Skinz and they are already looking at developing a AirFrame hood for the Apex so stay tuned....
