1) It completely obstructs the player's view of the right orbit's primary insert -- several times I was looking for the next mini-mode shot and couldn't find it!
2) The right-most dangly target can get caught in the shooter lane. Stern tried to prevent this by adding a small plastic/acrylic under there, but it's not tall enough.

Rocket City Pinball has you covered with some simple but necessary solutions!

Problem #1 is addressed with a shatterproof mirror on a 3D-printed support, which mounts on the side of the lane divider. It has curved mounting tabs to allow you adjust its position/angle best suited for your height and/or playing position. Once properly positioned, it will reflect the insert in the mirror so now you can see it, while still having plenty of room for the ball to pass beneath it and around the orbit.

Problem #2 is addressed with an improved design laser-cut acrylic, adding the extra height needed to prevent the dangly target from swinging into the shooter lane.

Installation video contains more details and DIY instructions.

Note:  Premium/LE only; the Pro does not have the doppelganger mechanism.

Let's all agree ... the tall plastic above the scoop doesn't really make any sense. With the Ravencroft Institute and gates on the left, and the Bell Tower in the middle, this standup plastic on the right ought to be a structure too, for better playfield balance. It's the Daily Bugle lane, so it's a no-brainer -- this plastic should be replaced by a Daily Bugle building!

RocketFlip's Daily Bugle is based on the building design shown in the playfield artwork and game animations. The front is 3D printed in multiple colors, including concrete (flat gray with dark flake) for the structure, translucent light blue for the windows, and translucent lettering with black trim. The internal structure of the printed building -- a separately printed piece -- contains strategically positioned walls & openings designed to light the building's front windows (when each mode is lit) while preventing light bleed to the other unlit modes.

Installation is easy and requires only basic tools (screwdriver, socket or wrench). This mod also includes (3) replacement screws, which will better blend in with the building design (instead of the OEM black ones). See how to install it here:

COLLABORATION NOTE: Because this is a Rocket City Pinball / FlipMods collaboration, we will be offering it in both of our respective shops and websites (at the same price) for your convenience.

Much of the factory hardware (silver screws, washers, nuts, clear posts) clash with the plastics & artwork of the beautiful Venom game in several areas. Rocket City Pinball has sourced black hardware to better match the game, and has meticulously gone through each of the different size and length fasteners that should be changed (generally anything in/near certain artwork/plastics). The kit also includes several HexSleeves to cover some unsightly hex spacers.

The kit includes 63-73 parts, including:

• All the black hardware needed to replace screws, nuts, & washers in visible, accessible areas where the factory hardware doesn't match the art/surroundings
• 4 HexSleeves, 3D-printed and pre-sized to the proper lengths
• Optional replacement posts in gorgeous colors that match the playfield artwork

Kits for all models (Pro/Prem/LE) contain the same hardware. See installation map/instructions/tips linked in the Installation Instructions section.

FAQ:
Q: I don't see much difference in the before & after pics, what the heck am I looking at?
A: Look closely at the attach hardware on/around the plastics. It's amazing how much better they blend in when the colors match or complement better.

Q: Why should I pay so much for what's basically just a bag of small hardware?
A: Much of this hardware isn't common and/or isn't available in small quantities -- there are 11 different types of hardware in the kit, in various small quantities. Purchasing minimum quantity of every different type would be much more expensive than simply buying this kit. Plus, Rocket City Pinball has saved you all the time of figuring out what sizes & lengths you need, and what should go where. In addition, there are a handful of parts that RCP has modeled & 3D printed. You're receiving a fully prepared kit and simply install it according to the instructions! Your purchase covers the cost of the hardware, the 3D printed parts, and the time spent developing the kit (and packing each one) to save you all that time and effort!

Q: What if I disagree with what looks good in certain places?
A: At the end of the day, it's your game -- so if you think something looks better with OEM hardware than with the colored items included, then just leave them out!

Q: What tools will I need?
A: 5/16” nut driver, 11/32” nut driver, 1/4" wrench, Phillips head screwdriver. See installation instructions for details!

Alternate dome colors available to personalize your game -- clear/white, purple, blue, or amber.  Rocket City Pinball recommends blue domes for the lower two, amber for upper right, and keep the OEM red at the upper left location (this location used with Carnage modes).

NOTE:  Early-run Pro games had 'floating' domes with no plastics, while later Pros and Premium/LE had decorative plastics.  Reference picture for details -- the symbiotes are different heights for each configuration, so be sure to order the correct ones!
