Question Looking for opinions on an undertail...

So I want to get rid of the nasty looking stock fender on my bike, and I have narrowed my choices down to 2 options.

OPTION 1:
Integrated Taillight
http://www.exoticsportbike.com/cbr929rr9.htm
and Fender Eliminator Kit (very clean, no frills)
http://www.exoticsportbike.com/exotic_sportbike.htm

OPTION 2:
Street Bodies Undertail (scroll down to the Honda 929RR)
http://www.exoticsportbike.com/street_bodies.htm

Option 1 will total $214ish not counting shipping. Option 2 is $319 before shipping. I wouldn't mind saving the $100, but that undertail looks sick, I can honestly say I've never seen it on a bike before, and I want my bike to be unique. Option 1 seems rather plain next to the undertail.

Feedback is much appreciated...

For people who have munies...

Meh. I have two undertails in the making for my bike and one is made out of "abroller" excersixe equipment (plastic shaped like booty) and the other is a piece of sheetmetal i am in the process of shaping to fit.

If i had the money to spend i know a fiberglass guy who will make me one for about 100 bucks.

There is some sic Led intergratedes on ebay.

If i were you and i could afford a fiberglass kit i would get one of those and just take a block of foam to get the shape and make my own.

Just dont pay an arm and a leg for something you can make yourself while learning what to do.

Look at it this way- "hey dude look at this sic undertail i just bought."

as opposed to: "Yo, I made that undertail myself."

either way if you want a match you will prolly have to paint.
