this will not be a popular one i'm sure LOL 
 
i took the cups off today to change the grills, put some damping on the transducer and take a peek inside while i wait for my parts to do a detachable cable...so i got a little silly with some paint while i had the cups apart
 
as far as sound change with the grills/damping, i feel there is a small amount, it sounds a bit more open and less treble-y...it is a very subtle change if it's not just placebo.

Really?  I thought most of us guys have an inner more-feminine side?  Hmm ... I'll have to check on that though, and get back to you.  However, I will say that the combination of the pink cups, yet keeping the ring with the Grado lettering does look like a neat idea.  I've seen other sprayed cups before, but different variations were used.

The Woodford Shower Curtain Rod Quarter Mod Tutorial!
 
A question struck me in the shower recently. How can I cut nearly perfect holes in my Grado pads? The answer was right there in the shower with me!
 

The Shower Curtain Rod!
Step 1: Pull curtain rod down and remove shower curtain
 

Step 2: Pull rod apart (temporarily discard smaller rod)
 

Slightly larger than a quarter
 

Nice and sharp!
 

Step 3: Place pad on carpet and press down firmly with palm
 

Step 4: Begin twisting clockwise while pressing firmly
 

Step 5: Keep twisting until you feel the foam separate
 

Clean cut!
 

Quarter comparison
 

Pads look good
 

Both done now!
 
 
I know most people don't care about appearances, but I needed it done cleanly. It was all done in about 10 minutes. If you don't have a shower curtain rod you can get one at Walmart for $4.96. I think I'll call this The Woodford Shower Curtain Rod Quarter Mod. Let me know if you have any questions or liked my tutorial. -o-

I thought the point of the reverse quarter mod was to create a new hole that could be used to mount the pad onto the cup?  This would ensure that one had more padding on their ear side for more comfort?  If a hole is apllied the same size as a quarter for the use of opening out the sound for the driver, it really isn't the "reverse" quarter mod, but would be a regular quarter mod, I guess.
 
I'll have to try some options.  I have 3 pair waiting for testing.
