As a paintball player WHY would this piss you off? I could see if you worked for Dye, or were a Dye representative or the president of the company, but as a player WHY? If they feel as good as Dyes and have more colors then whats the big deal? I would go with Dyes myself but if 32 degrees wants to make competition then let them. If anything it would benefit us players with more options. Its nothing to get pissed about damn.

Well since I can't find any Red dye stickies I will probably pay for these just because I can't stand my plastic stock spyder grips any longer :\ btw I heard you can get fade dye stickies, is this true? are they more expensive?

I was telling SIG says Sk that I like them. My wife got a pair of the blue ones for her STO cocker. We will have them on the site very soon. I am just waiting for a little more info from the warehouse.

I think it's fine that they are making the grips, but they are 90% alike the competitions and a complete rip off, they are undermining DYEs originality, hoping to gain of thier sucsess, much like the i-macs color theme was stolen.

i hate that DYE charges so much
now there is some competeion and the prices will start to fluctuate
and they arent exactly
the DYE clored ones and clear ones are dull and not shiny

Everyone always asks about my special fade stickies that were on my shutter.
http://www.paintballgear.net however, the only was you can get to them is by entering GRIPS in the search engine.
-Knux....thankyou, thankyou

The main reason we're carrying them is because people wanted color options. They're also less expensive than the Dye. Dye only makes their grips in black and clear. If you want colored, you have to dye them yourself (or buy them from someone who dyed them).

Sometimes I agree about companies taking each other's ideas, but so many people were asking for these, I had to offer them.

Seeing that Dye has some competition, we might be getting some even better grips now

Well think about it this way guys, how many variations of a 45 grip can you make? What was 32 degrees supposed to do that could have made them that much different from DYE stickies? Make ones that are shaped different and therefore dont fit? I like competition, it gives us better prices, and benefits us in the long run

i could be a good thing for the consumer. if there is competition between companies then the prices tend to go down some. so the dyes may become cheaper price wise..

Id buy the red ones since dye dont make red stickies and the red would match my red anodizing and that would make me very happy (-:

Yeah, why would MORE variety piss you off. Thats like going to buy a car and all they have is 1977 pintos. The more variety, the better if you ask me. Im glad more companies get into other things. Makes prices drop.
