Default Hellcat Nose Guard

Hey, im getting a hellcat in the next couple of weeks, but its the one with the very fragile nose. ive seen some custon nose/tail-guards on this site, and some that people bought. what is a good (and cheap, less than $20) to protect this board? i know this should be under the ?s forum, but i thought other people could look and get ideas.
thanks
ps., and other things you reccommend with dealing with a hellcat, please feel free to tell me

Powell Peralta sells nose bones on their website. They work good for a hellcat, and look nice too.

Just take a piece of large, thick walled vinyl tubing, slice one side of it and fold it and put it over the nose. The thicker and tighter the tubing the better it works (in my experience)

quick replies guys, thanks a lot. well im pretty sure the one im getting is the 07, bertman is selling it to me, and those things have a reallllly thin nose, maybe inch or so? and i dont want to get it, go down my favorite little hill at like 30, then have it smash into something and totally get pwned. oh and thanks a lot Puppy cuz i have a couple surf shops near me that will probably stock nose guards.
