Canopy Options

Is there anywhere that sells custom airbrushed canopies for the 550?

Canomod doesnt have any listed

Thanks man, but I meant something a little more custom like the canomod stuff.

There are a lot of cool ones out there. I really like the synergy N9's but I don't know if that or which other canopy alternatives are T-Rex 600 size. I would want to go with a slightly larger canopy instead of the 550 stock sized canopy. Could someone list some other canopies that are T-Rex 600 size?

Does as T-Rex 600 canopy fit on a 'stock' Gaui 550 setup? Or do you have to do any 'mods' in order to make it work?

[xodarap1]

It doesn't fit the stock mounts because the Rex canopy is much wider. You would need to mod it a bit and use the Rex 600 mounts or something similar and lower the bottom retaining tab to drop the canopy down so it won't interfere with the flybar. Nothing that can't be done in a few minutes though with some tinkering. I just don't want to buy a canopy at those prices only to find out it is too small or larger than the 600 canopies.
