If you want to do a pressure regulator the cheap way all you have to do is take it apart and stretch the spring slightly and you will increase your rail pressure by 3-4 psi. with a stock setup it would probably run too rich though until you get some rpm.

The effect is to get low...so if you are only concerned with looks, just cut your stock springs down. FREE
I think its pretty ghetto but hey, if looks is your thing, then ride and comfort is out the window.
