well i just came across the 90* frames for the ion and i was wondering if this would look good. and i also like this ion slim body shell thing.  now...do any of you think an ion would look good with both of those? would the olive look good with the black? because thats what i want to do. Anyway, if any of you have pics of an ion with the 90* frame please post it, i would like to see what it looks like on the gun... ------------- http://imageshack.us">

If you like the way that a 90* frame feels, then get it. If you are used to playing with a Tippmann, I would stay with the stock frame. -------------

a 90* frame is great for front players, its real tight, or a zgrip!

Get the dynasty body... Actually no, they're lots of money. Get that body, it's nice. That frame is actually pretty awesome. A new barrel. |

Eww...I wouldnt do olive/black unless you can incorporate olive more into the gun. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

| lucky stage 5 or stock are the only options in my mind for bodys. the frames dont look that bad. wait about 2 months for the body, lucky will be putting out a few new versions of the stage 5 ranging for around 80-250, this will give you bolt out back ability. |

I personally plan on buying the black/blue fade 90* Here is one Ion with the 90* http://www.pbreview.com/productpics/?action=browse&product=4091 - http://www.pbreview.com/productpics/?action=browse&produ ct=4091 New grips and regulator would make it look a lot better. I also want the Foehn(sp?) body, unless I see something better I like. |

so no olive? well i was originally going to get all orange but that was to bright, then i remember how i LOVE the look of the olive pm6, so thats why i chose olive and black...what else would go good with olive? and some of you were saying its pointless to upgrade an ion...well i somewhat agree, i dont want to spend 700 bucks on this gun, i could get a whole new/better gun for that price...

If I decide to get a new body and frame, it would be like the first time I actually payed for looks. I tell people it is pointless to upgrade a Tippmann just for looks because they will spend hundreds of dollars on non performance enhancing items when they could buy a decent tourny marker. I got lucky when I bought my Ion. It had everything it really needed. It was only $185 shipped. The only thing I have upgraded was a new bolt. It had a ccm feed, NDZ blade trig, SP on/off and drop, and a qev. That was a great deal, even if it was used. But I have also been thinking if I should just get the barrel and save up money to get an Alien marker. An interceptor would be nice to have. |

You might want to look into the Warped Sports Dark upgrades. They look sweet, are alil expensive, but they have a guaranteed lifetime warranty, so if you find a beaten up body on eBay or something, buy it and return it to them and they will send you a new one. Thats service! Heres the website http://www.warpedsportz.com/home.html - http://www.warpedsportz.com/home.html P.S. If you like the olive color, WS does have a gloss olive body kit. Looks sweet! ------------- >Smart Parts Ion >Tippmann A-5 http://xgunslingerx.piczo.com - Team Adrenaline Rush |

I think that body is an 85 frame, actually... But 90s are very comfortable when you finally get the hang of using one. -------------

Don't waste money on those. Get the things you might actually need like a trigger because the stock one sucks.. Or a barrel.. maybe a feedneck. Board if you want too. -------------
