Seriously considering doing carbon cups now... how hard would it be to use CF film/vinyl to wrap the cups?

Make paper templates first and then take your time applying them. Shouldn't be that hard.

Figured there's no need to make a new thread- any good method for buffing off the lettering on said ring?

I did the same thing as GreatDane, except kept the Grado Labs ring. The buttonless silver mesh looks so hot.

Indeed it does

So would it be a good idea to use like a rotary tool to remove the lettering?

I'm planning to make metal cups for my grado as well. It's not gonna be very expensive since I'm living with my Grandparents right now (I'm going to college in a different place) and we have a shop right under our house so I can have it made there and my grandfather owns the sop.

I seen here somewhere that someone used sandpaper to to sand the lettering down smooth.

Very cool! Let us know how it goes.

Any suggestions on what metal to use? Something that makes SQ better. Also, does anyone know how to remove the driver?

Ya - I'm having some copper cups milled for an Sr125 this fall - have the copper wire grills already - look forward to what comes of it.

Where are you getting them milled? Did you take the cups to a professional and ask them if they could mill it? And how much does it cost?

Well, Symphones claims that Aluminum is best. Also, you shouldn't remove the drivers, I don't think, as there's a high likelihood of messing them up.
