does anyone know of anywhere to get one right now?

I was thinking about a different color , but I think the red looks the best as there is plenty of black to accent it already. Red pearl is a pretty popular color amongst the slingshot, its not as unique as some of the more recent colors. I was just curious if anyone has noticed a difference along the years with the red pearl color. I live in Wisconsin and there aren't that many around where I live to compare. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine, but just wondering if anyone has seen an older red pearl next to a newer red pearl.

The roll hoops are a 630 dollar kit, comes with the bezels polaris pat #2889423. I haven't had much luck on ebay finding used ones cheaper. I have heard alot of fitment issues with the slingshade, but unfortunately it's the only roof I like and am willing to take the chance. The newer part number shade of the 20-current are supposed to be the "light weight" versions per the conversion i had with polaris. My biggest concern is finding one. My local dealer didn't seem like they wanted to order one due to "no date given for delivery" and a place I found online said I am better off getting it from a local dealer due to the high probability of shipping damage, but I could order it from him with an up to 6 week lead time. One more question I have is all red pearl the same between years? I have heard both yes and they are slightly different. Hopefully the paint code (676) red pearl is all the same so I don’t have to worry about that.

Thanks for all the info, so in your opinion you would order the most current slingshade due to it felt like it was a better construction?

I'm wanting to install a slingshade on my 15 sl. I know it wasn't offered for my year due to the roll bar mounting provisions not being cast into them but polaris offers an updated kit you can buy which I plan on ordering. My big question is, I see there are two distinct part numbers when ordering a shade (if you can even find one these days). 2882250-676 which is for 17-19 and 2889831-676 which is for 20 to current. I called polaris and they said the 20 to current ones were a light weight variant due to addressing the gvw issues when registration became autocycle. I don't know if this is the true reason for the part number change or not. I believe all mounting is the same so I wander if anyone knows the difference between the two for certain, and if either part number will fit which i have been told will. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
