Well, I emailed Surefire about their red gummy bear filter that they shipped me for my L4.
Here's their reply and my original email:
Dear Sir,
The Executive series filters are some of the few parts not made by us. We
switched to the Bushwacker because the lens flips up which was more desirable
and the lens actually provides better performance. We have no more of the old
style cover. If you purchased it from us we can have you return it to us and we
will issue you a credit to the card you used. If you have any further questions
do not hesitate to write back or call us at 1-800-828-8809. We are dedicated to
providing world-class customer service and welcome future inquiries or
comments.

Subject: Bushwacker F05 red filter
Hi:
This past week, I received my red F05 filter from you along with the batteries
I ordered. I'm very disappointed in the quality and appearance of this SF
product, particularly the fact that it says "Bushwacker" on it and the red
filter part looks like strawberry gummy bear candy. The whole thing looks cheap
and doesn't do anything for the appearance of my new L4 Lumamax. I am asking
that you replace it with your previous F05 red filter or another version that
is higher quality. What you sent does not say Surefire quality to me.
Thank you,
Steve Otto
