Actually second, just by a couple minutes

That's what she said!

What is white called on the website? I see it in your pics but not the drop down.

mesh

To answer the question, I believe it’s called “caucasian”...

Is a brushed stainless available and would it hold up well to elements?

My hood has that unique green and black in those sections so not sure of a color that would work... I really like the slotted design ones for now. These are great!

Polaris Slingshot Side Hood Vents, Louvered by DDMWorks adds function and styling to your Slingshot.

While doing aero testing at the A2 Wind Tunnel Mooresville, NC, we learned that there is a high pressure area in the stock wheel of all stock Polaris Slingshots. While doing more testing, it was found that the high pressure area in that area pushes up on the bottom of the hood, lifting the hood up until the high pressure is reduced, then the hood drops back down, that pressure builds again, this cycle repeats and "hood flap" is the result at speed. When that high pressure is pushing up on the hood, front end lift is also created on the Slingshot, decreasing front end stability also. Once we found this problem, we went to work on a solution and developed the DDMWorks hood vents. The result is a simple to install vent that reduces this high pressure area, helping to eliminate "hood flap" and creating more front end stability at speed. We offer several unique designs of these vents, allowing you to get the benefits of the vents while also customizing the look of your Slingshot with different patterns and colors of powdercoat.

The DDMWorks louvered hood vents are CNC cut from steel and then finished in a ultra durable powder coat in your choice of popular Polaris Slingshot colors. Mesh inserts are installed on the vents to help reduce water and road debris from coming up and are powdercoated in colors allowing you to create a truly custom creation. All stainless steel hardware needed for installation and full color instructions are included with the kit, ensuring you a great looking custom setup for years to come.

Vents start at $179 for the standard vent set without inserts, $229 for all other sets with inserts.

Curious why whenever I click on an aftermarket item were powder coating is available I never see the color that would match my SS. Never see "afterburner orange" offered.

The standard triangle vents could be done in brushed and it would hold up well. The mesh inserts would need to be powdercoated though.

Cool! I'd want the mesh black so it would workout... Just need to visualize them on that spot as stainless...

My paint scheme makes these tough to decide color...

Sweet man! I may have ordered first, but mine shipped today so look who was first after all They look awesome!

I've driven in the rain and wonder if there is any problem with water spray from the tires? I like the idea and look of these but am curious if this causes a problem or not. Thanks.
