"[i]I was talking with my Fireteam about shaders and we came up with a really cool concept. Instead of buying completed shaders you can buy/earn shader pieces. A Primary (outer ring) secondary (second ring) and tertiary (middle ring) color so you can "craft" your own shaders. This would add a lot more character customization and help make every Guardian unique.
Now that I am aware that I can edit, time for some new additions that have been suggested/revised:
1. Current shaders could be kept in, they would just be as if we had crafted them. This way, nobody loses any of their favorites when the new system is implemented.
2. Shaders for Weapons, HUD elements, Ships, and Sparrows.
3. Using the Destiny app/Bungie.net to make shaders that can be picked up from "Special Orders" in the tower. (Big thanks to SlayerD131)
4. The different pieces will be held at the vendor/crafting station in the tower, this vendor will also act as a shader-only storage (freeing up space in the vault and inventory). You can carry your 9 shaders as normal but also can store them at the vendor. Pieces will NEVER be in your inventory and will always be immediately put in this vendor's storage.
5. Each piece will have different colors to them and rarities. Common will be Matte colors, Uncommon will be Metallic colors, Rare will be simple gradients, Legendary will be patterns that repeat themselves over their mapped area, Exotic will be shifting patterns (moving night sky, animated flames, etc.). Thanks to the commenters that helped make this idea possible!
6. Common: Level 5 requirement, Uncommon: Level 10, Rare: Level 15, Legendary/Exotic: Level 20. Shader part shop/crafting station available at level 5.
Keep up the great work Bungie! There has been an unbelievable amount of support and we might just get this put in someday soon, thank you everyone!
(Please stop commenting "bump", something like "cool idea" or "this should be added" or some feedback or even just what you want to do if this is added is preferable as it is much better and helpful than just "commenting to keep this on trending". Also, hitting that little up arrow above the number in the top-left corner is greatly appreciated.)

I Found an old post, but it had no replies for quite a while, and because of that the post was locked, but it is an excellent idea. Here's the original link:
