    Should Dye sue Smart Parts...??

    This looks a little too similar if you ask me...

    Yeah, I saw that... They're actually uglier than Dye's version...

    Its funny that they are making such a big deal about companies "copying" all their stuff and they do this...

      Actually didn't Dye and SP sign an agreement?
      I would be willing to bet this is part of that agreement.

          Yeah, Dye's arent all that bad. They took a little getting used too, but they're ok.

          SP's just dont 'flow' well. Its that swoosh pattern they used (the clear line up the grip's side)

          IMO, SP is lacking in aesthetics across the board.

            You think this is bad, isn't the Shocker 03 valve system a complete copy of the Matrix? Maybe that was part of the deal.

                  yes; dye stickies are virtually identical to Hogue grips. You can't copyright that basic a design.

                    Well knowing SP they probably already found some loophole, or signed an agreement on production, to cover themselves before doing this. =\

                            You guys have it all wrong... this is from an old SP patent in like '95 on wood grips and has just been upgraded, actually dye is in violation of SPs patent and will be issued a cease and desist order shortly.

                            Edit: joking.. I hope

                              so I guess that's why SP came out with the new grips; to fill the gap in the market when Dye stops.
