Skinz or Diamond S?

[arctic cat 4 life]

Hey, im 15 years old and i ride an 06 m7 with a can and some venting. Me and all my riding friends are making a trip to cooke city january 5th. I want to get either a skinz or a diamond s hood for christmas. Which one is better? Stronger? More repairable? Looks cooler? Anything can help. Also, if you know anyone who sells either of them let me know so i can get ahold of them.
Thanks

i bought a diamond s hood for a polaris and it seemed like i did more work on the hood then they did, i had to drill all the hole for mounting put on the control module and cut out the holes for the speedometer it also started to stretch and peel off the metal so i riveted it all around to make it tight i wouldn't buy another one

i have a diamond s and it seems ok, has a few fitting issues, had to make a peice for the front so snow doesnt pack in also the back corners are wide open but doesnt seem to affect anything, also had to lower the pipe so it didnt rub on the hood, and had a stick go through it in some tight trees, but all in all they are light and strong and i think they look alot better than the skinz.

i also made a plastic peice for the back corner in deep powder the clutch would get wet and slip

I have never run an aftermarket hood, but I am thinking about it, If I do it this will be my choice.

I have a diamond s and love the hood. I did have to like others have said, have to do some work on it to get the fit where I needed it, but it has been very durable in the trees and it is very light weight. As far as the r&m hoods, I don't have experience with them, but have heard that they let snow thru the mesh a lot more than the diamond s hoods, but that is just what I've heard. Sorry, no experience with the skinz.

The Skinz Airframe hood is awesome!

Removable panels, can ship UPS reasonably, very nice quality, spot to install the stock gauge cluster, bracket for aftermarket lighting, great looking and very functional!

If you would like a quote just PM me.

do you have any pictures of the hood where it seals to the sled at the back ? and is the mesh tight across the hood cause it looks like it hangs kinda loose in a few places.

I don't but it seals up nice. I would say that that is pretty close to production, nothing will be unreasonably loose.

Shipping to Canada can be done but it has to go UPS which usually kills it.
