Here's the final result gents. I decided to keep it simple - black, blue and orange. I left the nose orange for obvious reasons, as well as the accent panels (which I wish were tac rails, but aren't). I feel there's enough orange through the rest of the blaster to give it good balance.

I might put some white stripes on the diagonal grills in front of the accent panels, kind of like the Zombie Strike blasters. We'll wait and see.

I also removed the Air Restrictor to see if it made any difference. Look how easy the folks over at Zuru made it. Friggin' screws !!! Love those guys ❤️

In its stock form the Turbo shoots around 60± FPS. With the AR removed, only 67± FPS. However, the plunger tube on the Turbo is quite thin. Much more so than Nerf. So I've decided to put the AR back in to save on wear and tear on the plunger tube and avoid a catastrophic failure like I had in my EAT.

Final analysis: It was a lot of work, there are some tricky steps, but in the end I really love it. It's transformed from gaudy to gorgeous. It's too bad I couldn't give it NIC-like performance, but it can certainly stand toe-to-toe with most stock blasters.
