here is my setup, suggestions please :)

Hate to break it to you, but those pictures are stored on your PC, so we cant see them.

What is the final look you are going for?  Assualt Rifle, S.M.G, Sniper Styled, L.M.G?

Don't worry so much about cosmetics, and keep it functional IMO. I highly disagree with the red highlighted part. Tippmann internals such as the powertube, front bolt, etc do not need to be upgraded as they work fine. Some "upgraded" internals such as aftermarket powertubes can actually decrease performance and cause issues. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. .. If it is, use factory stock parts. One possible exception might be the T-Tech Zero Kick Bolt. They are in fact lighter than the stock rear bolt and have been tested by an older member here that did report less kick and less noise than the stock bolt.

Why? The stock Cyclone will handle up to 15bps. Without a Response Trigger or E-grip, you can't shoot that fast.. Even if you do get one of the these, the stock E-grip does 20bps max. Since a lot of commercial field seem to be capping play at 15bps, there really isn't much need even then. Again, unless it's broke, don't fix it. Save your money and get playing time in. Playing time helps build skills more than nearly any upgrade.  

I like what you have there, light and simple. I keep mine the same way minus a stock for it, I use my tank as the stock.  I am not one for looks but for performance and reliability.

 Perhaps, becuase people don't typically waste their time to post up pics of their bone stock markers??  We all know what a stock A5,98 etc look like, do we really need to flood the forum with pics of them? No. Trust me, I love the look of highly modded markers. I have owned several, and still have a couple kicking around here. Just saying for a new player, it is possibly unwise to invest hundreds of dollars into a marker with heavy add-ons that will not increase your performance and in some cases will actually take away from it. Especially for young players with limited resources. The money they spend on upgrades is money that they could use for playing time/paint. When you take into account the fact that most cosmetic mods lose about 1/2 their value as soon as you take them out of the package, it makes even less sense.

Sounds like a plan. The A2 foregrip is plastic/resin so it will hold up and still be relatively light. I had a response trigger on my 98C and had mixed feelings on it. I like the high rate of fire capability, but not being able to fully control the BPS was sometimes annoying. However, it does allow for higher ROF, is significantly cheaper than an E-grip, and best of all, doesn't take batteries.  

I'm not going to do the whole quoting thing again, as i don't have the time, but i will say this...
