Okay...I think i may be screwed.....I just put on a set of strakes and I just noticed that they are the same grey as the rims and not polished as I had thought.

Yes I know the diference between polished and not, BUT are there grey strakes? If so, I"m not as happy as I should be.


didn't really occur to me until they were already on and they were the same color as the rims....that got me wondering.

Sux. What color is your car? Maybe it works since they match your rims.

Blue......it does work, just that my polished aluminum gas cover is slightly off now....

I thought I had read a post earlier where a dealer got in a batch of them in the gray but he sent them back for the polished.

Yes, I called Mazdatrix and they were the ones that were about to sell me gray strakes. He 'said' they were what Mazda sent them but also mentioned they looked kinda painted. Which makes me think there might be knock-offs floating around. Are the ones you got metal or plastic?

Mine are real metal, casting marks can be seen on the bottom.

metal...still gray...too late for me tho

sux to be me........no wonder no one aspires to be me

mine are solid aluminum and poilshed to a nice shine

metal and polished...look very nice.

mine match my rims....but i don't think I'd consider them brushed....they almost look powdercoated......

whatever, i'm a loser anyway

Can you post a pict?
