bunnyman666 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Once you get the flop the way you want, that clear will, like the black play a HUGE role on the flop; get it a mile deep with your clear and you’ll hold it and move it in the light for HOURS! I’m not joking, either! It will blow your mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flops from bronze to green, for example. From what it sounds like, @MangoRhinehart is using one that flops from blue to red. It was REALLY popular with the customised car scene for a minute. It works well with curvy surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a little off though that might just be the window colour making an illusion. If you want to get a replacement, the cheapest way to go for a brand new one would probably be through Michel at Protechsport -- he makes a 961 clone and so that cage should fit it too (I think they're CAD 80, looks like the one you have is a late Bauer 960 cage, before the XPM).

It was a bit of a learning experience using the gel coat filler and first time I have had need to bust out a dremel to remove screws. I am pretty happy with the end result. I always wanted a top end Itech mask back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
