its actually not tape its rubber cut from bike inner tubes it holds switches for lights and such,also makes for a grippier grip,kind of tacky feeling,it looks shiny from the flash i guess but in person its matte rubbery looking, also the shoestring looking cord is parchute cord for some reason the flash made it look funny too,the stock and grips are the new foilage green from cavarms ,looks real good in person
