Looks good, but like glaze said, get rid of that drop!

Yeah, flame drops are cheezy... but I really like the body. Reminds me of the milling on the DM6.

thanks guys....I'm keeping the drop because of the SCUBA tank I use (71/45) to let it breathe ....it perfectly balances the marker and makes it short enough to get in tight. Right now I'm trying to swap my gloss black freak tip and dusted black Uni for dusted red replacements...I also forgot to mention that it came stock with NDZ type delrin piston detents (!) and I also plan on replacing the grips with something red/black...just can't decide on a brand yet...

Sweet body, but the drop forward makes it look like something my dog threw up. Lose it and it will be sweetness. 7/10

yup.. lose the drop, and put ur uni-mout right under th grip, maeks it a lil more comfy fro me, but in the end its all your opinion, and what you honestly thinks what suits your better, ncie gun tho, boddy looks pretty good, how much was it

red polished AA front
Trinity's new on/off - polished red w/ black dust cage
SP QEV

TBoard is next....at $80 with new noid, I can't go wrong




See now, why I need the drop? Tank's huge and it balances better for me.

thanks...this particular body is a limited edition of 99 units...but I have to say, it's the best looking one out there...it's also the first true BOB for the Ion. My TBoard will be shipped out after the 18th so that should be here soon. I was also looking at the Punisher's 90* frame in Dusted black or red (probably black), add the membrane pad and maybe an LED mod....idk...
So far, even with the stock board, it mows (for 17bps at least) and I'm also looking into selling the ZBoarded egg for $$ and getting a Reloader B or Haol w/ suicide shells....not sure on that either.
