Here's my 98 Custom that I've been working on for a few years. Decided to go with a H&K G36 look.

I'm thinking about getting a tac light for the front (I like night games) and possibly a shorter barrel, for a better look.

What do you think?

Mill off the words "Tippmann 98 Custom".  It would give it a much better look.  I don't like the barrel at all. I'd go a little shorter so it wasn't sticking out of the shroud so much.  It's not really my style, but I could see where you would like it, and as long as you like it, kudos.

Yeah, the more I look at it the more I dislike the length of the barrel...

I may take the old Dremel to the Tippmann lettering, but not sure on that one yet.

I agree that a shorter barrel would improve the appearance.  It looks way to "bolt-on" for my taste.  I've never considered the 98 family a good base for mil-simming.  However, if you're happy with it, then that's what matters.

The shroud looks weird IMO opsgear's older g36 shroud looked  better. A shorter barrel will help the overall look though.

Not bad, but I agree with everyone else that it could use some work.
