Highlights on an Archon V2.  Just above the pommel, and on the emitter:



Obvious highlights on an Initiate V3, filling all of the indents on the hilt:

Actually, my local Ace Hardware.  They had an extensive array of diameters, and thickness.  I took one of the hilts with me to make sure I got one that would be snug enough to stay put, but not so much that it would snap from the strain.

A simple, inexpensive, and yet effective mod.  I think they were 45 cents apiece.

Nice, be sure to get extra for when the rubber dries and cracks.

I am still kind of hoping to find a hardware store (or other supplier), that has them in a variety of colors as well.  I think red ones on the Archon might be interesting, and blue ones for the Initiate.  The nice thing is, if they don't work out, you are not exactly heavily invested in them.

I think gray would look cool on the archon but that would be a tough color to find, and i think you can buy a box of assorted sizes of o rings but only 1 color, i cant remeber the website but ill post it if i remeber

I've mentioned the idea before but I'm curious if anyone has tried to paint plan black O-rings and if so how did it work out?

Nope!  Mine has the Sith sound set loaded.  That was someone who had the same vented coupler serving as the neckpiece that I do.  I think I have seen that one around too, now that you mention it.
