Good idea.
You can get real steel Lightning fiber optic rods for $10... they're the brightest fiber on the market, and you get 12" of it for that $10. Available colours are red, green and yellow. They can even go down to 0.040".
I'd follow Daiviet's recommendation to extend the rear fibres further towards the muzzle, as the sides of fibre optic rods capture as much light (if not more) than the bulbed ends. I don't notice it as much with airsoft rods, but with rods like the Lightning rods, the sides are coated with a sheathing layer that increases the refraction index when compared to the core. It makes the dot look like it's almost on fire. LOL. Basically, the longer your rods, the brighter the dots.
on the other hand, the way you have it set up can work well too, especially if you're not placing contrasting colours between front and back. The brighter front dot will be easier to distinguish from the rears. To each his own. I know plenty of guys who swear by irons only.
