| Review: |
I got this for my halo about 2 weeks ago and thought it looked awesome. i put it on the halo (which took a while, the board wouldnt come out of the old shell, but i found an easy way after a long time of tugging and wiggling) When it was all together one screw is stuck, it won't screw in our out but it is no biggie. and one other didnt fit. but the shell is in place really tight so nothing is falling apart. i put this on my shocker and put my tank on. and thought that setup looked great. this shell is very nice, it feels durable, and has a cool design (i have the blue 120), and looks nice. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very nice shell, i reccomend it. at first i thought that much for a shell wouldnt be worth it, but now that i have it i think its a good deal. |

| Review: |
Got my shell for around 70 shipped. When i got it there was like a red dust all over it thatr would just rub off. Red because i got red 155. One of the main deceptions and downfalls of this shell is that for the price there is no strength advantage, or any other advantage what so ever, aside from looks. After only a couple months of use the feedneck broke of , Maybe just bad luck? |
|
| Conclusion: |
If youre only going for looks get a new empire color foe way cheaper, these shells do have a unique although not worth the price. |

| Review: |
Upgrading one of my Halo B loaders was done using the SPO Extreme body shell along with a aluminum Warrior rip drive, Hybrid back plate and a speed feed to be used on my Invert. This review is concerning the shell which is the model 155 in silver carbon fiber finish. The shell is simply stunning in apperance on the silver Invert and has been quite the hit at our local field with folks wanting to know where to get their own. Its all about the cosmetics here although the fit and finish is perfect for the Halos innards it copys the stock shell with the two halves which is a bit of a hassle for cleaning unlike the suicide shell where you are able to remove the upper part of the loader for cleaning which is faster and more efficent. The feedneck requires no sanding unlike the stock for fit unto a standard clamping feedneck. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want the widest variety and in my opinion coolest looking shell for your Halo the SPO Gear replacement shell is the way to go. They are expensive at $62.00 but if you have the cash go for it. I purchashed mine through Action Village. |

| Review: |
Not only do these shells by SPOGEAR have an attractive, custom, flashy, and eye catching appearance, but they are the same thing as the original Halo B or Emipre B hopper shells so they fit the same as the original. With a wide variety of colors and patterns to chose from this is, in my opinion, one of the most signifigant and bold add on's that will customize any marker. But best of all, these colors and paterns are not limited to just the Halo B hoppper. The web site has some amazing pictures of custom markers and assorted loader shells. The owner (whom I won't name personally) of SPOGEAR has a real gem in his pocket with these products. Hopefully he will be able to market in mass quantities these products and services to a mass of customers. Not to mention, that when I spoke witht the owner on the phone, this guy was the most customer service consious dealer that I've ever dealt with in my life. I wish this guy sold houses and cars and everything else that I need. Anyway, customer service gets an 11 out of 10!!! Over all I couldn't be any happier with ALL SPOGEAR's products and services. I highly recomend these products to anyone who has a true love and passion for the sport of paintball. |

| Conclusion: |
You get what you pay for! ....... and more with this product. Everything you could expect from this product and more. |

| Review: |
Hot look, Alternative styles and a variety of Camo styles that are made to order, can't beat that for customization. My favorites have been the camo styles, depending on the environment you play through you then go with the style that fits best. Its also nice to see a product that caters to both Tournament and Scenario players! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its all about customization and what better way then a custom hopper. |

| Review: |
This is an incredabl prodcut for the halo unless you have a custom halo with an empire baord or any other stickers. The only other bad thing besides the fact you can't buy it with in installed it looks incredbly ugly if you put stickers on it so it is worth your money if you want to keep it clean but if you don't mind it having an incredbly miner scratch you can just save so much money and buy a few stickers. So if you are trying to look sexy as heck so get this upgrade for the Halo. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Sexy looking |
