Go cheap, or what looks better? That was just a suggestion. I have learned a long time ago that you should do it right the first time. Now if he likes wingless better, then thats what he should get. But dont EVER let the price of something force you into doing something that you wont be happy with. (unless its outrageous LOL) but a few hundred for a one time thing....Milk money. BTW 03 cobra wing looks GREAT too.
Smart thing would be to do the $3 mod first, if you dont like it, then get the steeda or 03 cobra...or whatever it is you want. Do you want some pics of the steeda?
