Well I modified my vforce rental. I know you all are asking why? It's like polishing a turd.
Well I was bored and needed something to do..
Parts:
1 - SPST Lighted Switch ($4.00 - Radio Shack)
2 - 12vdc Brushless fan (2x $12 - Radio Shack)
3 - Heavy Duty 9v battery connection ($3 for a pack of 5)
4 - Rechargeable battery (Already had put normally go for $12)
What I like about this is that the switch lights up when it's on and it's surface mounted, I don't need to worry about a stray ball knocking the switch and turning it off.
Problems though, the room in the mask is tight so you need to be careful where you place the fans.
I put one at the mouth piece to help as a cooling factor, and the second above the lens. I had to trim the mask about to get it to fit, I had to remove 2 center connections from the visor and remove the vforce emblem from the grill above the lens, which involved cutting the grill.
If you do this mod, I would recommend removing the lens as it can get damaged if you leave it on.
I had to drill 5 holes in the mask. 1 hole for the switch, and 4 holes for zip ties to hold the battery in.
Let me know your thoughts. On average it took me about 45 min. to do all this.

Yup saw it on nation it's by far the best profiler, how'd you come across it? The prototype looks so much better than what actually ended up being the final.
heh, I came across it on a canadian paintball forum. Some guy was selling tons of ME gear and he happend to have a prototype profiler so I jumped on it.
