My first unresponsive yoyo was a Peter Fish Luminator from [Yotricks.com](http://Yotricks.com) It has a dry bearing, rubber weight rings, and silicone response pads. It played fine for my first unresponsive yoyo, but the styling was hideous. I decided to take a stab at modding it (if you even consider this a mod). I sanded off all of the branding and put a splash pattern under the translucent end caps. I whipped up the design in photoshop and just printed it out on printer paper. I then traced the end cap and cut it out with scissors. Ghetto as it may be, I think it looks 10x better than the original. lol.
