    you know, now that I think of it you could make those any color you wanted to also..
    might be cool to do the tips blue and the rest red? like built in blue dots. Great tech!

    i dont think it would be too hard, i would pour the one and add a divider, and when it hardened up, pull the divider out and pour the clear..i guess it all just depends on how creative you want to get with the molds!! the next ones i make im going to try and shoot for the diamond pattern in the lens...you guys are all pretty creative, you guys will probably come up with something better!

    They look factory, I mean that in a good way.

    I must be the only one here who doesn't know, but how is this cut made? :confused:
    Cut-off wheel in a grinder?

    And is re-plating required for rust prevention?

    hey Mo, i use a 4-1/2" cut off wheel in my grinder on everything, and a file to sharpen up the corners if need be. and yes you should replate them to seal them back up..any other questions let me know!!:)
