buying an AST, which one?!

yes i did use the search, ive looked at the pettit AST, it looks nice and all except i dont like that round design for some reason (no offence), and i swear i read it on this forum somewhere that the pettit wasnt that good, but i do not recall any other company that makes these. what should i get and who else sells these...

I think it looks like crap because of the metal color.
When its polished aluminum it looks sweet. I have
on from FAM speed, that looks exactly like the original
plastic one, only its polished aluminum. Here in Japan
there are around 10-20 car companies that make those, now you can get any of the threw me. BUT I also recommend you to make your own design and go to a shop that can weld aluminum GOOD.

Spooledup7 is looking for interest on an Aluminum AST that he is producing and the price is definately right...
I would probably jump on this unless you want to spend a lot more.

I have the Rotary Performance Aluminum AST. Not sure if it is any different than the Pettit one, but I have had no problems since replacing it.
