MOD My Fives

[alistairgene]

Someone posted this online in a local (Philippines) public buy-and-sell website, a pair of Fives 4.0 (2009) that needs new lenses. It was being sold for $20 and I thought it was worth a shot. It finally came and it's in pretty good condition. Fits my Asian face really well, too. I have a pair of Half Jackets 2.0, Asian fit, and that fits really nice, a Straight Jacket, standard fit, and that needs bigger nose bombs to fit me better, but this pair of Fives sit really nicely on my face. I'm looking to customize it a bit and make it my daily pair. I found this design online. Anybody have customized Oakleys they can share for inspiration?

The fives 4.0 are excellent. Great pair. The one you are referencing is the ghost text version, which you can find online sometimes.

If you’re looking to paint them up, got lots of options. Check out posts by @Rick58, @zwc0442, @SouLFuLFroG just to name a few. @Wavecloud might be a good option internationally. There are a lot of great examples

That pair yours? SWEET!

The reason why I want to mod this 4.0 is because I have the Half Jacket 2.0 and the Straight Jacket and they're both polished black with black iridium lenses. A third one would be boring.

Why not paint up the SJ2? There are a lot of options out there. Again, check @Rick58. He’s got an entire case of custom SJ2s

'Cause it doesn't fit perfectly on my Asian face, it still rests a little bit on my cheeks and not fully on just my nose. At least not yet until I get the bigger nose bombs, so I'm keeping it stock in case I get a chance to sell/swap it. If I get the new nose bombs and they end up fitting perfectly, then I'll start using it more and maybe even have it customized.
Thanks for the tip, though, I'll check out those designs.

Can't see his posts. It says he's restricted the viewing of his profile. I'll try to send him a message. Thanks!

Just search his customs thread.
