what do you guys think?
they used to be denim.

Anyone know why its harder to sand the frames than the riggers?

im planning on it. it just takes way longer on the frames for some reason.

i used like 150 grid but ill go over it with 300 or 400 to get it nice and smooth.

he either traded for a lens from a custom setup, or he bought a custom setup from the oakley site. i am pretty sure you can get custom printing on the lens from the oakley site. or it could be some shop edition or something, thats my guess though.

Yer if you go on the Oakley site for a little extra you can get your name printed on your custom setup.

im pretty sure the reason that the frame is more difficult is because its O matter, rather than plastic

That looks really good! I think my denim parts are white underneath... I might have to try sanding a spot to see.

in my opinion white is still better then denim but thats me. You could make it to look like a denim to white fade with the right sanding.

Yeah I really might do this. Thanks for being the guinea pig! And after if it doesn't look too good it would be prime for dyeing. The sandpaper would roughen up the parts a little and the dye would really get in there.
