yea sorry. i use this site to host photos. if u click on pics it should take u to my gallery and give a lil bigger pic at least. these first ones r a prototype as the 1 side didn't come out right but the other side isn't bad. we just ordered a bunch more carbon fiber as we r almost out. so will keep u guys posted but wanna get a few sets out of the mold before we disclose price and start releasing these

I did c other colors when we were shoppin for more material. I don't remember seeing silver though. Yellow red and blue were the ones I remember seeing. To b honest though I wouldn't pick up the extra material just for 1 set. If enough people wanted it then I would consider it
