I did mine the same way, since it isn't an Spx, it is a throw back to the original XP location. That was my reason for doing it anyway.

Yup they are suppose to go this way.
Most people do not know they have purple in them. I originally thought they were just silver.

That's cool I do like the way you did yours I just kept comparing pics of mine and the spx and decided I liked that look better but....it was a hard to decide not because there hard to do I just didn't want to spend the money because I'm cheap lol!

I also got some painting done. I took all the motor parts that were white and sandblasted them at work and painted to match the silver.

The bildge was a complete disaster so I got to cleaning with some simple green and it came out pretty good 
The flow is so much nicer the correct way(sorry), only thing I would do different.............use the SPX font instead of the XP torn font, just my personal opinion. I know a guy who is going this route with a 99 clone (that guys is not me, honest)

I agree I definitely prefer the sharp detail on the stock font but...that was my only option are you having Mike make up some stock font graphics lol! If so I'll probably switch out the front decals down the line.

Well I finally got around to finishing up this project and had a good solid couple days to break it in and enjoy the switch from a 657 to an 800 man was I missing out lol I love this ski it just blows away my 93xp if you can't tell this was my first time running a x4 800 I can definitely say I'm hooked! Any how here are some updated pics I had my finger throttle powder coated and I think it came out awesome
I also had my r&d trim tabs and nozle done as well

Thanks racer, I can't believe I put those trim tabs on wrong lol I'll fix them tomorrow I haven't had any experience on a ski like this let alone performance upgrades to tell the difference here are some more pics

Thanks! Yep I would have liked to re gel mine black, I plan on ditching the Mc numbers soon and having Mike make some matching ones up for me I just threw those on so I could ride this weekend. I also want to match up the bottom seadoo with the xp coloring I didn't really like the look of the Dimond plate look so I took it off. sorry but I think I copied your hydroturf pattern I thought it looked sweet on that 95xp 800 you built i try to be original but I couldn't really find a pattern I liked.it's funny I didn't notice that the tabs were on wrong it seemed to be running great I can't wait to feel the difference when I swapp them out oh well lesson learned lol I put them on after a Stent on swing shift at work probably shouldn't work on stuff with no sleep lol
