my ION, need some opinions on upgrades
got this a few weeks ago, its not much now but with your help it'll be sexy 
setup:
-Halo B Hopper /w Rip Drive
-Virtue board
-Virtue Ion EzOn Power Button
-Freak JR. Barrel w/ .689 insert
-VP Scythe Trigger
-360 QEV
-TechT L7 bolt
-Kila Detents
-Q-lock Clamp Feedneck
-CP ASA On/Off
-DraXXus 68/4500 HPA Tank
future upgrades:
-Shocktech body
-Punishers 15° trigger frame
-CP regulator
-SP or Hybrid grips
i want to finish all the "performance" upgrades before i move on to the cosmetics and i was wondering if i was missing anything?? anything i should add or change?? oh yeah, it'll probably be a black and blue theme once i start working on the cosmetics.
i know how some of you guys are with people upping IONs but i don't want a different marker so please don't tell me to stop wasting my money and buy a different marker, this was a gift from my brother and i'm not going to get rid of it.

if u get all these upgrades then there wont be anything missing for your ion...it'll be maxed out on performance and almost maxed out on cosmetics
right now - 8.7/10
with upgrades - 10/10

oh ok, cool and it came with the virtue ez on button as well. so i guess im pretty much finished with the performance aspect. the ion gonna be a "sleeper" for right now, im gonna wait a while on the cosmetics. mainly because im lazy and i don't think that its necessary right now.

good choice, if I had one I'd sandbag it too. just get the cp reg, everybody has one no there ion so they won't think ti is anything special with one on it.

as for performance if i was you i would definately invest in a cp reg
as for your color scheme..keep it black its very sexy
Now for cosmetic i would suggest....
A. A new body Kit(Since it's a sleek black ion i would suggest a sleeker body kit..but its up to you
B. A new trigger frame..im a fan of ego's and the star trigger frame so something with a built in dovetail would be Awsome( correct me if im wrong but i think new designs has something..maybe im wrong..shop around see if you can find something that has a dovetail already built on..not the kind that attatches on the back..those are tacky to me)
C. Some Hybrid grips( i think that they should be straigh black..also i think they would be a good choice because they are not bulky and i think would add to the sleek look)
other than that i thik it would be an AWSOME looking ion
right now
8/10
with the upgrades
10/10
