The reason why Oakley didnt do a lot of these things officially is that they are too difficult to mass produce with the same exact finish, quality etc.... Especially the anodized. The anodization varies from frame to frame. I have to dial in each one to a specific hue that I want with a test frame, then do the frame I want. Its the differences in the metals (Titanium dominant) in the frames. This would take up too much time and the costs would have been driven up. However, if you notice all manufacturers don't seem to go that extra bit to make it the best or ultimate. The aftermarket always comes through with those things, making things better, offering more choices. Its a good thing or things wouldn't be unique.
