I know, I hear alot of people say this on here, so how do I convince them? I wasn't taking no for an answer, I kept assuring the lady on the phone that they do fix them, that they do it all the time and I knew people who had just had it done, she kept putting me on hold to go talk to "someone"...

I have a pair of Romeo's I was contemplating hitting you up about. Will shoot you a PM.

Everyone knows the camera adds 10lbs of rivet..... Nice job.

Has anyone here had thier XX's serviced recently? I just spent a half hour on the phone with Oakley, and I'm about ready to loose my S*@t. They refuse to service them, lady put me on hold 4 times, each time coming back and saying they don't have the components and there's nothing they can do...

Carbon's were $350, they were brand new, not a display, still sealed in the box w/ coin. Polished were $370 because they were "custom", which I never understood, since no box or coin with them, so why should I pay more for less? With that in mind I told them I'd only buy them if they took 10%...

Impulse buy. Polished w/ Black Iridium and Carbon w/ Ruby Iridium. Went in to the Vault to get a pair of lenses, walked out with these also. Last pair of polished they had so figured I'd better snatch em while I can....... Had to get the carbon's too so I could swap the lenses, couldn't resist.

Well, here to let you guys know how it went.... And... It didn't. There's no way whatsoever Fast Jacket XL's will work, the curve on the bottom cuts into the area needed. The regular Fast Jacket's are actually larger on the vertical. Totally bummed, I spent about 3 hours driving around...

I deal with a ton of anodizing and powder coating for my business. I'd personally stay away from the anodizing here, we ended up switching to powder coat everywhere as the anodize tends to scratch when you breathe on it. If you hit it with your fingernail it will scratch no problem. I would...

OK, so took them completely apart and cleaned everything. There was what I can only describe as "maple syrup and tar" caked inside of every nook and cranny. It was nasty, and I really would prefer to just block out the experience, I don't know exactly what it was and I'd prefer not to know. I...

Scratch my last post, found this thread: http://www.oakleyforum.com/oakley-x-metal-discussion/11654-x-metal-repair-mark2112.html Pretty much answers all of my questions....

Hey Marc, thanks. I actually did read through all of those threads previously, and did what searching I could around the forum before starting a post, all I really saw in any of the threads you posted as far as finishing the actual frames was on Brip's page, but didn't look like they came to a...

Hey guys, I just picked up a pair of X-Metal Romeo's, I'd like to do a complete restoration on them. Gaskets, rubbers are all being replaced, I'm going to chop some lenses. That's all pretty cut and dry, the thing that I'm fuzzy on is the frames. The frames are in "ok" condition, minor scuffs...

Darn...totally interested.... can't view forum yet......
