FO SHO!!

They really need to pay attention here and start giving people what they want. Just add all the colors of lenses to custom and be done with it man...Jade, + Red, -Red, Ruby Clear, etc. Don't deprive us fanatics of what we so badly desire.

Dang! That would be the cure all for all this!! Make every color available to the custom program and give us what we want!! I'm sure most of us would be fookin nuts!!!

you can get a + red in anything, just takes guys like me to chop them up to fit HAHA. Really though, not sure why they don't offer up something like that. Custom is where it's at in almost everything.

You buy a BMW and it's ala carte, you buy a new house and you order what you want to a degree, and in paintball, everyone is tricking out their stuff even with custom COLOR anodized graphics...It's that personal selection that makes people go crazy. Why not be bold and different? It's been proven so far, and really, it would end a lot of these crappy releases that just wind up in the vault stores. You built it, it's yours...

That +Red XS is amazing. The lens compliments Polished Carbon very well. I wasn't impressed with Polished Carbon until now. Well done!

Oh man, I had been pondering putting those +red lenses into a different x^2 frame, and cutting some jade lenses for the polished carbon, but now Oak's comment is making me think twice about that.

And if they made every lens available (even at a premium) for every frame, I would build up a huge order queue! Even if Oakley told me they would have to wait until they had enough orders to do a batch run, I'd still get in line and want so many different lenses. *ugh* the very thought of that is making my brain drool.

If you all liked the + Red XS, what do you think about a Ruby Pit Boss?? Also did a fire Oil Drum too..

ROck and ROLL!!!

that's awesome. Any issues with getting the oil rig lenses to fit? I guess you can add that to the list of "what lens will work for what" database.

that fire lens is very cool.

Josh, I always thought that custom PB you made was +red...maybe I misread the original post. Either way, it's a gorgeous combo and those color-matched icons are the shiz!

first pit bosses I did were + Red polar, this one though was a Ruby rig that damn near looks + Red. Very cool color on that rig lens for sure. I like them a lot HAHA.

reminds me of what + Red is supposed to look like. Just crazy the differences between the 2 reds (ruby & + red)

Yup, I'm not a big fan of the dark purple +red....I thought those were +Red, at first glance.....those are tight!

Like on a Splice, a flashy lens really compliments the dual color frame.

just another instance of brighter is better HAHA. I think that ruby is just hot and wish though that positive red was that way like it used to be, and ruby was pure red like it should be. Throw a wicked orange with very little yellow out as fire, or just bring back orange mirror all together. Man the thought of them all...

Chop, I haven't so far been that bothered bout the Pit Boss at all, its just left me cold and then you come up with these.....you son of a B*tch, now I've got to put them on the to get list at some stage. I have to say just how much I love those PB's with the Ruby: SO Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I tend to go the direction that Oakley slacks off of. members ask for it and I deliver it. They really should just open up all colors in all frames regardless of "Elite" or not. That's just my opinion though.

@Ifynanceu- Those are actually the lenses that they were gonna send the anti-freeze frogskins out with but they decided to change it to black iridium last minute. I was going to get a pair if they dropped with the jade but changed my mind when i saw the black.

Those are sick though i envy them!

Cool bro, but mine are G26 and not Jade. Couldn't bring myself to chop up a Jade Radar lens since they aren't available. I was really on the fence about it though.

Thanks man. I knew they needed the touch of a real lens, not plain old black iridium. Close to Jade, but not quite.

Damn this lens cutting business is a challenge. I am an hour and half in and just making the final touches on the first lens (Blue iridium radar range cut down to a Frogskin) It has been fun though.

Alright guys here they are





It was a bit of a challenge, but i expected that with my first time cutting a lens. I am very happy with how they turned out.
