Default Shopping for Apes

So I got a B-day coming up and am going to use that as an excuse to get some apes. I like the Carlini Pist style, as well as Roland Sands Vintage look. What I dont like about them is the price. Have you all come across any apes that are similiar in style, but at a lower price? I dont need top quality stuff, but dont want bottom of the rung either. Any thoughts appreciated!

I spent months trying to figure out what bars to put.on my bike. I took the plunge and bought the carlini gangster apes. I personally think there awesome. Worth dropping the extra coin for.

Road 6 apes look great! Did you go with their wiring kit, or did you purchase from someone else?

I chose the 12" Chubby Outlawz. I love the look and angle.
