| Review: |
Looks good, I get a lot of comments on it! I like the way it looks too thats why I got it.
people in other reviews for this have said that it scraches easy but I have had it for a good while and have never had that happen once, and i play kind hard.
The end cap can come out it you would like, I have had it out for the last few months just for a different look.
Also the the is heavy like I said before, its not like its real bad but when compared to the plastic stock one it is! |
 |
| Conclusion: |
It has good and bad like anything else, but I still used it after about a year so I guess the good out way the bad. If your looking for something cheap and useful then here ya go |

| Review: |
I will put it out straight to everyone that is reading this review any type of low rise feedneck that is shorter then stock will not fit at all on the ion unless you do alittle shaving. which leads me to my point i have the lowest feedneck the shocktech super low rise and all i had to do to the body is shave alittle of the top part of the body and it will fit better then stock. and if any one was wondering "no you cant even tell ive shaved the frame at all because it is such a perfect fit its amazing. and the total time it took me to desamble the gun and shave the frame and put it all together took me a maximum of 15 minutes. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Great body, looks good, only paid 30 dollars of ebay, its light to. and i found that since it has grooves down the side if you want you can use it as a aiming down thing cause i tried it and it works pretty good. |

| Review: |
when I ordered my 06 body from the powerlyte website I received my body like two weeks later on regular mail. I paid in 70 CND (including shipping), it cheapest deal I could find. I could have paid an extra 15 buck and got the feedneck and reg cover but I already had my NDZ low rise and using a CP reg so I couldn't find the logic. Still to this day I still trying to figure a way out to get my feedneck attached without scratching my body. If you purchase this body make sure you get the feedneck with it, or try feed necks other then the NDZ or the Qlocks (reading other reviews) |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Its a good budget body and looks much better then most bodies out there on the market IMHO, but shaving an extra 5mm off the top of the body would save all of us so much grief with our feed necks. The ability to leave the back of the body off for a BOB mod is really cool and it looks rad with my red cocker NDZ breech. |

| Review: |
I really like this body. It has a back cap that allows for bolt out back but my firing can doesnt allow that so it doesnt really matter. It kind of scratches easy cuz ive only used it a couple of times and has a couple of very minor scratches. Probably because i play in the snake and that area is kind of rocky at the field. It looks way better than the stock and my blue firing can looks hot through it. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Great body for the price, but dont get it cuz i want it to be rare and be cool |

- Price is set really cheap
- Looks are awesome
- Lightweight |

| Weaknesses: |
- Q-lock won't fit |
 |
| Review: |
When I first got it I immediately had to put it on. When I put it on, I noticed that the holes weren't aligning right and the eyes weren't fitting properly. I saw that the feedneck was too low and that drove me crazy. I had to go buy a new feedneck, and I was pretty pissed about that. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
If you have a Q-lock, buying a new feedneck is the small price you pay for your gat to look sexy.
I recommend this body to everyone, it really does make your Ion look so much better. |

| Review: |
Ok, when I first got this product I thought it was awesome. I just got a solid black shell, looked really nice, and felt good, and tough. So when I opened the package, I rushed down stairs, got my Ion, took it apart, and right when I was sliding the shell on. I noticed something wasn't right. So I turned my shell upside down and the screws were not positioned right, and same with the eyes, therefor it would not work, and could not work. I got upset, but I lived through this crisis, just another day, just another day. Anyways, I would reccomend this product to anyone , but for all you paintballers with low-rise feednecks on there Ions such as the Smartparts Q-lock, beware. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Good product, everyone should get this as long as they don't own a low-rise feedneck like my Smartparts Q-lock. |

| Review: |
The powerlyte 06 body is nuts.
First off, it looks completely insane, it will drastically change the look of your ion. The reason i bought an ion was to upgrade it, and the body is the best way to visually enhance the look of a rather boring gun.
Most every one at my local field (Diamonds Edge, Anderson CA) has an ion or is familiar with them. When the guys first saw it, many could hardly believe it was my old ion, let alone an ion at all. Although the sith frame has something to do with it, every one loved it, and how light it felt, it was loaned out for more than half the day while i used the interceptor. Any way, this body is ridiculously ill, and a must buy if you're bored with your stock body. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Buy it, and intall a drool-gaurd, then shoot them 187 militia style |

| Review: |
The ION body is popular with any ION owner as i found out. Everyone was asking where to get one.
My black to blue fade body proved to be one of the best investments i have made.
I also found it doesn't ware too much but can be scratched so take care with the body.
The ION body in comparison to the out dated plastic ones are great and i cant wait until someone releases an even better body to this
|
 |
| Conclusion: |
Its great because it has everything the old body's don't. It has style, class, great colour schemes, made of metal, light weight and easy to access the bolt without taking the body off. |
