2017 for me.

Shine Armor Fortify Quick Coat
I use it on all painted body panels and on the windshield.
Display MoreHello Orange, I would need to buy a special "group buy" approved batch from the MFG at special pricing on my end as well to be able to offer this level of savings. Please understand that this pricing can only be obtained if this batch # is met. I do have a little wiggle room on an individual basis if the batch is not met.. so we can get people modding for a cheap as possible. Thanks!
Group Buy Pricing
20+ Units $225/each
The list would need to built here and then i would PM the coupon to each individual member that's interested.
Thank you!
Group buy pricing would push me over the edge to buy and submit a review.
If you do offer group pricing, please notify me.

THREE !!!!
I have these:
They are a pair so, no need for a y-adapter. Both controllers are at the center console. Plugs into center cig adapter.
Controls are selectable in 5 degree increments.
With the key cylinder facing forward, I am surprised that this hood latch lock doesn't have a rubber cover over it.
I ended up going the Amazon route with the GODSPEED steering wheel.
Steering wheel, short hub adapter (nrg clone), spacer.....all in was $84 for all.
I did have to visit the hardware store to get longer, hardened steel, allen head bolts $6.
Looking for some input on an aftermarket steering wheels.
I have a 2017 SL in Navy Blue.
Currently looking at the Assault Industries Ballistic D-Shape in blue.
Being a "D" shape, is it something you get used to or, does it really not even come into play with normal driving.
I thought about a quick release for security but, they look to add additional space, pushing the steering wheel closer to me.
My goal is to try to get the steering wheel a little further away.
What hub adapter? There doesn't seem to be any info on how deep each one is. I am leaning towards the DDMWorks, mainly because I have their shocks and sway bar so..... brand loyalty. Besides, it seems to be the lowest cost as well.
Any input is appreciated.
We had about 15 Slingshots together yesterday in Southern Connecticut.
Hosted by Libby's Motoworld of New Haven.
Started with coffee, donuts (courtesy of Libby's)
Some fantastic deals on Polaris Slingshot apparel.......got me a new jacket!
Lunch at the Crab Shell in Stamford CT.
2.5 hour ride home for me.....Great group of people, well worth the day.
Took a nice ride with my oldest daughter to Wachusett Mountain in Princeton MA. Great views, perfect day.
On the floorboard vent option, I see the vents can closed to reduce airflow.
How do they function in / handle rain? Anyone with direct experience?
Given their location, it would seem they would pick up a good bit of water off the road and tires. I doubt closing the vent would be water tight - just curious how much water might get into the passenger cabin.
I got caught in rain only once. Was not a downpour, just a shower.
Nothing came through, no puddles on the floor.
I would imagine if you are riding in a downpour for long periods of time, something will pass through.
Read your install and review. Bought the parts, just don’t have the courage to cut the hole. 😟
I was a bit worried when I decided to take the plunge.
Started with passenger side, from inside out, marking the center of my 3" hole. Making sure it was 3.25" above the floor to allow the vent trim ring room from the floor.
First hole was a small 3/32" drill as a test. Figured it was easy to plug/hide.
Double quadruple check. Insert a piece of wire. Check both sides again.
Stepped up to a 1/4" drill.
After the 1/4" hole was there, break out the flashlight and multiple pairs of cheater glasses.
Wanted to make certain nothing was sandwiched in there.
Then, most important!
I made a paper template so that the drivers side would be in the very same location.
Then the 3" hole......dripping sweat as it plunged through.
A club member wanted one for his but, was far to afraid to drill it so, he asked me.
Took a little over a half hour to do both sides.
Both He and his Wife are very happy with the results.
I did a custom DIY floorboard vent.
Search "Mniron's True Floorboard Air Vent"
This works awesome. Last year, it it was above 85F, my wife would pass on going. This year.... she has been going on rides at 98F. This is good for me as she operates the spritz bottle of water (my diy evaporative cooling system).
I did a write-up here:
A friend used an ammonia based cleaner on the black hood plastic and it left light bleach type marks.
He tried this stuff and it restored it perfectly. Carfidant.
He has been using it all summer.
I liked how it brought back the deep dark black look so, I changed to using this.
Previous products that I used on the Slingshot were:
303, Slick Mist (inspired by this thread), now Carfidant.
Just my opinion: Carfidant wins.
Garage is dark, product applied more than a week ago.
Amazon same day delivery?

Not even a motorcycle can hide in there?

I think the Slingshot will win that tug of war.
No scientific evidence to back it up, just a hunch.
It just doesn't look like the four-banger in mine.
Maybe GM has redesigned the 2.4 Ecotec.
Or, Polaris has opted for a totally now powerplant.
Any change in headlights should be an improvement for nighttime vision.
The stock bulbs on my '17 reminded me of the old days driving my '74 Javelin.
Changed my bulbs to HID within the first 2 weeks.
The new headlight design will put a dent in aftermarket LED accessories. Halos will look a bit strange on those.
There was just a thread on FB about a guy in the Denver area who hit a bunch of water and somehow flipped over the SS. He was sliding upside down for 3 or 4 seconds he said and the helmet saved his head from scraping on the ground. I believe it is a 50/50 in that it could help and it could hurt.
I would imagine the very same can be said for every convertible manufactured.
A helmet and seat-belt while sliding down the road, wheels up in a Mazda Miata, would provide more protection.
A helmet and seat-belt, coupled with a front or side collision, greatly increases the probability for a neck / spinal injury.
It's too bad we cannot choose our accidents.
For now, I choose to avoid accidents whenever possible.
A helmet used in conjunction with a seat belt restraint is a recipe for injury.
There is a reason a HANS device was introduced in race cars.
