It seems most guns I see have these on them. Are they worth the $25 or so? I have a benchmark 2x frame, do I just screw the grips on or something? Also, do you think you could photoshop dye stickies on my gun, just so I could see how it would look on it? Thanks!

I have a benchy too. Dye stickies won't fit on it. They're just grips anyways. Not worth $25 if you ask me.

Hmmmm. I think Stickys should still fit. they might need some trimming though. Panzzer, was it because the grip frame was too wide, or did the double trigger guard get in the way? If you decide to try trimming 'em, I Photoshopped a pic, like you asked for. Sorry that they look sort of brown, but the two different types of black didn't mix well.

Overmind-the trigger gaurd gets in the way. Sure, you could make them fit, but you'd have to trim them a bit.

:( So the stickies won't fit right on the benchy, darn. Are there other grips that look as good as the DYE stickies I could put on? Over---thanks a lot for that photoshop man! Would the color of the grips contrast my gun that much in real-life? Or is that just b/c of the difference in the picture brightness?

All you have to do is heat them up until they get nice and stretchy! Then put them on the frame.

boil it and then stretch it. also DYE stickys feel NICE, they don't just look good.

i forgot to mintion this before. i own ans 45 grips, hogue 45 grips, and stickeys on each of my intellifed rt's. the stickeys are the best grips ive ever used. if you get them warm when they hardin back they are more stickey than befor. i learned that from getting them to fit someone elses benchmark frame.

So they WILL fit my Benchy 2x trigger frame w/guard? All I have to do is heat them up? Do I need to do any trimming also? If so, do I do it before or after heating them up? Thanks guys...

Yeah, well, I hope they fit(I have a Benchy, and I would like to use my stickies). You would heat them up, then without letting it cool, strech it on the frame.
