Default Art Fibras undertail vs. PimpBikes undertail

Hey guys, I'm lookin to buy an undertail and can't decide which one.

I've seen the Art Fibras one, (although I couldn't find any currently on eBay, but know there will be some sooner or later) and the PimpBikes one (here http://www.pimpbike.com/HONDA%20UNDE...4I-S-0103.html).

I want to keep the stock tail light setup but make it look secksi . If anyone with either can post pictures of what they look like installed. I know I saw someone with that sweet black/blue flames custom paint scheme had the PimpBikes one, and I'm sure I recall someone praising the Art Fibras one.

Also if an owner of either could confirm a few things:

-Paint matching accurate?
-Does either come with mounting hardware?
-Does either come with license plate bracket?
-Any other thoughts or opinions on your undertail?

Any information at all is appreciated...

Thanks all!

I have the Art Fibras undertail, paint matching was good (silver), its made of fibreglass, hole is predrilled to relocate your trunk cylinder to underneath. there are no other holes drilled, so you must test fit, remove, drill and reinstall. If you have some know how, its not that hard. When I priced them Art Fibras was cheaper. The undertail does come with a bracket, but i think its for the battery, I cut mine down to use as a licence plate bracket. Just use the search function and u will find some pics.

you can drill fiberglass just fine. Just don't give it any exreme pressure while you are drilling. It should be quite easy

I have a pimpbike undertail on mine as well. Very easy to install. Just prime, paint, and mount. Extremely happy with the result. See pics in my gallery.

Hey,i recently purchased an F4i, previous owner had installed pimpbike undertail, however he didnt have a bracket instead the plate was installed (tie wrapped) to pass footpeg, i would prefer to installa bracket somehow? do they sell such brackets or would making one be the better choice?
thx

Yes, the pimpbike website carries actual nice plate holders that look very clean.
