i may have asked this here b4, but i don't recall an answer. But has anybody found a simple solution of the custom fuel filler hose needed when putting the 12 gallon tank in the X4 ?
My tank & motor were finally dropped in the hull today, but after 15 minutes of head scratching it looks like i'm going to have a piecemeal of 2" pvc, standard fuel filler hose all cut up with more pvc couplers, about 6-7 pieces. Has anyone figured out a better way ?
some sort of flexible pvc tubing ?

Make sure, whatever you get, it's very flexible.

How much did it cost to have the hood painted?

i'm curious myself, since I just used Krylon $5, and its held up well so far.
$100. I wouldn't have considered it if I hadn't have bought one that was professionally painted and how much better it looked compared to Krylon.

damn !!!! for $100.00 they shouldd have painted the inside and reinstalled it for you ...thats kinda steep ... i have my own spray guns and airbrushes to do my own work. and a real nice vinyl decal cutter at work and not one of those cheap ones either...

I hadn't yet heard of Mline seats but that looks great! That's a first class ride you got there.

Ive used MLine a few times and I find there product to be better than any of the others Ive tryed. The seating surface is Whisper Black vynil and is extremely soft. Plus theres extra cushioning sewn into that area of the cover. The rest is carbon fiber black and carbon fiber silver. Its hard to tell its a hump seat with the extra padding added to the area in front of the hump. Best part is that cover coast me 120 bucks and I had it within 7 days. Theyre all made to order.

Looks great! How did the install go with the hump seat? Any tips when installing around the hump?

I ended up with 3 feet of some real badazz flexhose from a local wholesale auto distributor, it was about 8 inches short of making the complete loop so I had to couple it with a short piece of regular straight fuel filler line cut down. But i can say w/o a doubt, for the fuel filler on the oversized tank, flex pipe is the only logical answer ! And in a pinch, i swear I could use this as a softball bat or defend myself from zombies with a length of this stuff, its some tuff azz chit !
two members that I emailed about their install replied that they just used flexible radiator hose, much cheaper, just as flexible, and has held up well, i might look into that down the line since now i plan to help to upgrade the setup's on my two local guys that have frankenstein setup's right now.
so with that said,, anybody wanna throw in a cautionary note saying that radiator hose is a bad idea ?
personally i thought radiator hose was a terrible idea, i don't think its compatible with gas.

Damn thats a steal. Pump, impeller, r&d nozzles, and a pump extension!

Install is easy. Nothing crazy to do about the hump area. You need a pneumatic stapler, its the only way to do it. I like to line up the front and rear of the cover first. Then put a few staples in the side. Finally work my way around and fill in all the staples going around. Always pulling it tight and flipping the seat over to make sure it stays center

Cool thx. Did you take off the old seat off?
Electric stapler work?

No, I like to leave the factory cover on because its waterproof. An electric stapler would be better than doing it by hand, by hand is impossible. Air is ideally the way to go

Definitely! usually the nozzles go for that price.
