ok...old thread......but here are my thoughts, and what I'm going to try...

a) Got my LE last week (from o_din) and included were 2 sets of clear disks
b) I like the look of the black, but ball movement is average
c) Had exact vinyl black decals made to go under the disk, then plan on replacing the black rubber w/ clear...should be the best of both worlds, correct (or am I missing something)
d) The clear discs I have seem to have a pretty strong adhesive on one side already. Do I need extra glue, as mentioned? I wouldn't think so, if the disk is cleaned thoroughly first....

Thanks.....and I'll shoot a couple pics when done.....mark

Well...no need for pics.......clear disc is deadly fast as described....went on easy......

Putting the black on the underside of disc sort of pointless.....lights do look great shining through, but most of the " black" is lost in the cloudiness of the clear disc.....very happy for blazing speed and spin now, however, so a win on that front......mark

Actually take back the " no visible" difference referred to earlier...actually getting the light to shine nicely w the black vinyl under....very much like the original black ....as you can see in the pic...not as dark as original, but very nice...speed and a dark disc....win/ win ( decal cost me $5 at local sign shop)

Agreed.....mine's been on for over 6 months, played every night, no problems. I pulled the motor completely out (very east to do ) took the old black off, prepped and cleaned thoroughly, and installed the clear, added 3m adhesive (also had a custom black decal made to put under the disc, to retain some of the light refraction).

Mod is awesome, ball comes in and out with a mind of its own...crazy fast and spinning wildy...AWESOME!!!! I already had plastic protectors installed, and would recommend putting those on regardless (I've broken plastics with far less horsepower than this disc on other machines).....mark
