I'd imagine nothing fancy or expensive, things designed either to make you
faster (boosted rather than wired; very few gangers have that kind of cash),
things that hurt people (hand razors, fang implants, spurs) or things that
look cool (cybereyes with cross-hair pupils, shiny chrome cyberarms, fang
implants; cyberware is considered freaky by normal society so IMHO gangers
will love it). There is also the obligatory smartlinks.
