Side Panel Decals

[Yammerhead]

Last season, I peeled part of one of my side panel decals off while out on a ride. Afterwards, I removed the rest and the glue residue. The decal on the other side was scratched as well, so I removed it too. I was thinking about just leaving it naked, but this is what I am left with.



It looks like #*$&@, so I either have to get OEM decals, figure out how the get a better finish where the decal was removed or buy something custom. I'm not sure if I'm keeping the sled, so I don't want to dump 3 or 4 hundred into a custom wrap. I've never messed with the decals before, so I'm looking for suggestions.

What if you put a 2013/14 side decal on it like on these models? 2014 is solid black but I dont know if it has any decals at all.

Can you get a roll of the carbon fiber stuff or something similar and just cut to size?

Here is what mine looks like after I removed the decals, cleaned the surface and sprayed it with Maxima Racing Oil SC1 clear coat. Looks good for most of the season

What about after market vent kit? My buddy has a turbo with a vent in that spot.
