Thank you for the kind words.
What really sets this place apart from others is the willingness of its members to help others. I would like to think of it as a snapshot of what America is really about.

I was trying to find a set. Slingrazor sent me a spare set he had laying around (I assume a prototype effort) that I'm going to install when I get a chance. ZZP said he was going to have them for sale by next spring.
The ones I sent you are the same as sold by Threes Da Life. I designed these fillers over 2 years ago when the mud flaps were removed from both our slings. Mark from Threes Da Life asked if he could use the design and started providing them with his fenders. I also had some that were made out of sheet metal instead of ABS for those who wanted to paint them.
Glad you got them.

Ran 18 x 10 Torque Thrust wheels on all three corners.
You will need a 5 mil spacer behind the wheel to clear the caliper and 10 mil longer lugs on the front.
This is easy to do. PM me if you would like more info.

I'll be putting my ladt set of ABS ones in the mail tomorrow.

wiithout the fenders, water does not splash into the inside. In the rain the water goes straight back with a little hitting the side of the sling and flowing up and inside. It is about the same you get off the hood around the edge of the winshield.
I ran both slings without the mudflaps for over a year before I installed STYLN s ( StickerDick) fenders. I would hapilly run without the mudflaps again.
Take them off and try it, they can easily be reinstalled.

Spirit could not be in a better place.
It was nice visiting both of you.
-
Not really.
I have landed them in plenty of "dirt" parking lots. They also back up really well.

Today brings the end of our ownership of "Spirit". May she bring the same exilirating ride to her new owner.
-
Yes it has sold, within 8 hours of being posted. It is staying the forum family.

Ill take some close ups on the install before its put on the trailer for delivery to the new owner.

I like them.
Did you replace the button style pins and use the existing holes of was it a clean install?
Yes I replaced the button style pins. Used the same holes, just had to open them a little more.
-
Like this.
They are pins from a Mustang GT. The pin itself has to be at least four inches long.
They are mounted in the same location as the buttons.

Well this is story that is a bit more involved than you think.
The Spirit is actually a culmination of both of our slings.
What a ride this has been so far!
In the beginning we purchased a 2015 Base model that we brought home February of 2015. That base model took us all over the U.S. the first year. Felicia drove the sling and I on my Victory.
After the owning the base model for 8 months, we asked a man named Painter if he could paint the sling to match the Victory Board Walk Blue. This was his 6th creation.
We soon had Painter put his magic on the Vic which Felicia chased me around on.
At MV we were introduced to Dave@DDMWorks , the performance bug started.
Problem!! With the new SC ,I started driving it all the time. Felicia soon asked if she would be able to drive her Sling. So the Vic was gone.
Now the sling was mine and I could let my own creativity come to life. With some vision and what the heck attitude I started cutting and painting.
The next major change came when Felicia thought about selling her sling. At that point we decided to keep the 2016.5 and the best of everything from the 2015. So over the winter I stripped both slings down to their frames, did a lot of painting, and put them together. Felicia liked what she saw and decided to keep the 2015 for herself.
The next major mod was once again Horse Power. The sling visited Dave again for a set of cams and re-tune. 350 HP at the rear wheel.
We rode them like this for the next year until our vision of our two favorite rides came together. A 1966 Shelby and our Slingshot. This paint job kicked the crap out of Jim and I. (Thank you Painter , Ross , SlingRider , and maverick5990 for helping to make this happen) It took 8 days and between 16 and 18 hours a day. A normal Slingshot paint job is about 21 to 23 pieces, we stopped counting at 80!!!
Spirit was born!
I do have a vision for the next one which will be completely different. You will have to wait and see!
