Well, just like the title says, I've ruined another perfectly good Dominix.  Since I completed the Wired Dominix I've had nothing much to do, so I decided for some stupid reason to mod my red saber.  And so, after much Epoxy and trimming of pieces, I wound up with the following tire-tread-patterned saber.  What do y'all think?

Introducing the Malignant:
The Epoxy discolored it a bit, so my Dominix is no longer shiny black.

I managed to leave the retention screw and the other hole open, so I can still take the blade out.

Yeah.  It's so grippy that the first time I picked it up it took me at least five minutes to detach my hand from the hilt.  Then I decided to let it dry some more.

My biggest complaint with it now is that the hilt is more rubber than metal, and sometimes the O-rings roll downward when I'm twirling.

What's with the darkside points people?

Ooh! Smokie likes!

That's an awesome looking conversion my man. Very dark looking. It makes me think Ultrasabers should have a mat black option available on their dark sabers.

Unfortunately, the glue is starting to come off after a few duels, resulting in the curved rubber pieces uncurling back to their original straight position.  I'm thinking about taking them off and reapplying them straight, like around the activator.

Well, I'm finally done modifying my Dominix, so I took a few pics to share with you guys.  The silver you see is where I sanded through the black finish.  I also added a few strips of silver metal underneath the O-rings below the activator, and straightened the strips of rubber on the emitter.

I present the Malignant.

Ha. I want to admit something. When you first posted this thing way back when, I clicked on it, saw the pic and instantly though, "Wo. Damn. That's pretty hot!" And then... oh, 10 seconds later, "Nope. Yep. He's right. That looks weird."  Smiley

Good job on your new version.
