[SIZE="4"]This is my mod Update this is the newer version what change about it was instead of electrical tape in the cap i put in signo therefore giving the mod better weight with out the grip spamming so i also took both the any-ball grip under sailor off as you can see in the picture[/SIZE] [SIZE="3"]Here's how my first version of my shadow mod[/SIZE] Again Thank you for time.

    Decent mod for a beginner. Perhaps you should have posted in Show Off Your Pens before creating a tutorial.

    well yea i was going to do that first but i forgot were it was but i think i remember now so im going to do that now yea maybe a little much grip spamming but im still looking on improving it in the future to give it the decent weight without having to much grip on im going to take what u said and use it in the future.

    Hey! Nice mod but there are things that you can consider to improve on :) 1. cleanness of modding. - Just try to make the modding abit cleaner ;) 2. Simplicity, for this mod i believe simplicity is the best, maybe you can add a few rings of bright sailor on the cap on the bottom of the airfit grip, It will keep the spinning effect clean and simple 3. Weight Well with i like your idea of the tip package being able to go inside the cap like a namae but to make it look that bit better i think that what you could do is cut down on the weight of tips and compensate that using dr grip grips What i mean is you can have about 4 cm of dr grip grip, in which about 1 - 2 cm of grip over hanging the cap, that will give it a nice clean feel and once again help with the spinning effect but that's just how i would of made the mod using these caps :) It's really up to you but a nice concept of mods none the less! Good job :) :)

    Thanks a lot i will use the advice in the near future. but some people might say it's grip spamming so i try to avoid that by taking off the blue and orange any-ball and then i took out electrical tape the was in the cap and replaced in the cap so that the weight just don't be on cap but toward the end of the cap therefore giving it better momentum and weight again thanks for the advice Thanks Zelphus
