I've been making due with trimmed orbital gaskets and I've heard you can trim the ends off stem rubber as well. But yes, a dedicated rubber piece of the correct dimensions would be awesome!

I am debating which 2 sets of lenses to buy for my Badmans. I have (and am quite a fan of) the Ruby Iridium lenses. The color tone looking through them is very blue compared to all of the other options Oakley has. Mind you, I only own Badman's, so I mean the current version of Ruby Oakley uses. I cant speak to how the ruby of old was.
My question for you is are any of your lenses similar in color tone while looking through the stock Oakley Ruby Iridium lenses? Your lens finishes look amazing. I just cant get the feel of the color tones looking at the lens charts. The Navy Blue (green base) appears to be the closest to what the neo-Ruby (stock oakley now) views like. (i plan to snag a set even though they aren't polarized)
Since this is a q/a, i will get all of my questions out.
Any plans to make a Badman Violet rubber kit?
Any plans to release more of the NXT lenses for the Badman in more colors? (Tanzanite, Premium Red, etc)
Color tipped screw sets? Violet with a set of violet rubbers and Navy lenses would be awesome. It could be the Badman Finite Villan special edition set. Orange rubbers/screws would also be super cool. Red also would be a great option as the red finish on the Ferrari screw heads is thin. (mine scratched on one lens change)
I am still torn on which other lenses to pick up. I love the Tanzanite, but still like the Mirror Red too. Any chance there will ever be alternative base colors on those? like Mirror red with a Blue base lens or Tanzanite with purple or blue base? i love the look of all the choices (which i am very grateful for, thank you guys seriously). Just the things that have come to mind while browsing your site profusely for the last week.
More than anything, even if you dont have time to post back, thank you for doing what you do.
#caffinated sorry.

Any update on these? Super excited!
@kitcostantino : thank you for the inquiry. let's answer by points below:
1. Linegear's closest to Ruby is the Premium Red, available in non-polarized and Polarized.
2. BM Violet Rubber Kit: No plan
3. Color tipped screw: No plan
4. As for Orange rubber set, we have the Chinese Orange rubber set for X Metal, except BM & MM (Badman & Madman).
They will be available, soon .... stay tune!

One subsequent question than from # 2) is there an earstem rubber you have availible that would fit the badman if i trimmed it to fit? i really love the chinese orange and violet....and that seems to be the only way i am going to get those colors on my badmans.
Not recommended to use our current ear socks for the badman and mad man. Fyi the other day i saw oem earsock for sale on eBay.

Lol. Yeah, Ive seen those. I have a Ferrari pair and a Carbon/Ruby pair, so i have those color options in oem already. i just wanted violet and chinese orange earsocks...which you guys do not make and have no plans to make, so I was trying to improvise and find a set for an actual x metal that i cpuld make work.
Thank you for what you do!Similar threads
