    Where to get 90* grips without an LED/LCD window?

    Luke has some aluminum ones. Is there anywhere else? I'd like some rubber wrap around ones but I know that's probably wishful thinking, spoiled by my Sticky3s..

    I'd like to get some of Luke's eventually I think.. has anyone tried these on their 90* frames? Are they comfortable?

    I've got a pair of grips on my chimera from http://www.stingerpaintballdesigns.com/. They're quite nice if you like the feel of thin panel grips. They make the chimera thin and comfy.

    Only downside I've seen, after having a pair on my chimera for about a year, is they can bend up a little bit in bottom towards the front of the grip where the screw is in the back. But this isn't noticeable until you take them off and notice they don't sit flat on your table.

    Over all I'd give em a 8.5/10. I'd recommend them, although I haven't tried anything other than some Angel Space grips.

      depending on what you are looking for, pillage has made some really nice wood panels

      I've seen a few members here with Luke's aluminum panels. They look really nice but might be too thick for me.
      I have also seen a few flat aluminum panels, which I assume were sold with Chimera frames a few years back, but those are really hard to find.

      Personally, I've used Stinger (SPD) translucent panels on my old Chimera and my current X-Mag. My only gripe is that the colored film on the back does have a tendency to bubble a little. The material is clear with a vinyl film on the back. I'm not sure if the custom-graphic panels have this same problem.
      If I'm not mistaken, the DarkSeoul grip panels were much nicer since the plastic was tinted throughout. Last I heard, he hasn't been making grip panels for a while

      FixMyAngel.com does have a few remnants of various panels but most do have a window of some sort. I think the black Angel panels are probably the best bet if you don't mind having an angel and "angel" printed on them

      Good luck on your search and let the rest of us know if you find anything special

        Which template did you use from Stinger? They don't have IR3 listed but I did see some other Angel ones.

        I will definitely let you know

          It doesn't look like these have a window. They may not be shaped quite right however.

          These are a little pricey but look like they would go nice on a dust black frame.

              None of those will work. Those are for 45* Angel frames, although they should fit an Airwalk or Stormwalk frame

                I think those might be what I go with, I'd just have to get some of the inside milled out to accomodate a micro rock

                    I used to cast my own plastic parts when I was heavily into model building. After Christmas im going to attempt to make some Frymarker style grip panels out of plastic and rubber.

                      Cool, I'd be interested to see them.

                        i wouldn't get the SPD grips if i where you.. i got a set from them a few months ago just a solid black.. When i received it, it had all kinds of air bubbles.. I emailed them to do a remake and ship it back.. Got it back and it was exactly the same one with air bubbles and all.. I ended up ripping off the film and just made my on templates..Oh yea, after installing and reinstalling a few times it started to crack on the mounting holes.. Go with the lukescustom you be better off..

                          My SPD emag grips stink too. I didn't complain but I should have.

                          Solid black, same as you, but the edges are uneven and ugly. The LCD screen is too small, the holes don't line up, and the bottom has a slim white line that makes my would-be-all-black marker ugly as sin. The whole setup looks like a shop-class reject.

                              Shoot me a PM... We should get a few people together (others have had this happen) and make'em re-do our grips as a group.
