frankenstein

Here in Argentina no one is making the Frankenstein mod, at least that I'm aware of; but there are a couple of reballers. There are these people that charge more or less 60 us bucks for it and seem to do their job fine based on reviews. How much of a good plan would it be to get a backwards...
