Trivia

 * The "18K" in the name refers to 18-karat gold, suggesting that the gold-colored frames may be actual gold.
 * At 12,000 cash, the 18K Aviators are the most expensive piece of gear with Last-Ditch Effort and most expensive piece of headgear in the game. They are tied with the Varsity Jacket and Blue Moto Boots for the most expensive gear overall, and Blue Moto Boots for most expensive Rockenberg gear.
 * The glasses seen on Octocommanders look very similar to the 18K Aviators.
