I ordered some stainless steel strakes and crest from Howards website on Aug 13. And when i had first emailed him asking him how long it usually takes to ship out to Texas, he replied w/ 7-10 days. Well its been over 10 days and he hasnt replied to my last email about any update on my shipment. So I was just wondering if anyone has ever had problems w/ Howard. Kinda worried I paid around 200 bucks for both the crest and strakes on my credit card and this dude lives in another country :(

I ordered from him, and got it within 2 weeks. No problems. I'm even farther (in Cali.). Love them. They look great.

ordered mine on a sat and got them the next wednesday!!

and i'm in Canada!! i was very impressed with his service...

You guys seem to have gotten them earlier then mine and ya'll are located farther lol .....maybe hes on backorder. Did you guys order them from ebay or his website?

Website.

I ordered them from ebay and got them in around 10days or so...
they are beautiful.....craftsmanship is superb. :)

I purchased a set from him. Yes it can take a little longer to receive them but it is well worth it.

When you get the package you will be surprised at how heavy they are though.

My first thought when I unwrapped them was they reminded me of bars of Gold.

I have had them on for about five months with no issues.

Take your time puting them on. Not sure if he has started marking LL (left lower); LU (left upper); RL (right lower); or RU (right upper) yet. It took me at least a half hour to make sure I was installing the correct ones on each side.

Very nice though, if I purchased another RX-8 I would buy from him again.

Haha Yea I know theyre so heavy. Mine has a scratch on one fender but its all good you cant really tell since they shine so much.

No problems with Howard.

Ordered mine 7 days ago and havent heard nothing from him. I guess I'll just wait it out though. You all same to have good things to say about him.

Hang in there. He never responded to 2 emails I sent to him but I got them in about 10 days. They are worth the wait.

They glisten in the sun light :)

I wish he responded to emails...

I got mine about 2 months ago and they were individually labeled. :D


Be patient my young Padawan Learners, the Force is strong in Howard. :cool:

They'll be worth the wait.

Awesome product with nice craftsmanship. Got mine in 8 days to California.

He took about 20 days to get mine to me. I sent numerous emails to which he replied to one. Eventually, they did arrive. Just have patience.

I got mine today, took about 10-14 days, had to clear customs. they look great. have exchanged emails with him. mine are marked LL UL UR LR. Can't wait to get er done. I'll buy the front accent when he gets more in stock.

I just ordered mine a couple hours ago from him and they are still not here!!!

Seriously did order today so I'll let you guys know how fast they come in.

I got mine in 10days.....workmanship is top shelf....high quality...
no problems here! :lol2:

FYI: I ordered yesterday and sent and email regarding my order yesterday (since it now states sold out on the website, I wasn't sure if they were sold out when I ordered or not). Anyway, had a reply this morning stating that I got the next to last set before he temporarily sold out and that they were in the mail now.

So far so good!

Got em today no problems. Flawless buy and fast shipping considering overseas and went through customs.

Thanks a lot for the link to the website. But, I don't see the rear rotary accent. He only sells the front I take it?

Anyone happen to know if Howard is out of the strakes business now? His site is down just as I was looking to buy some.

oh no, that would suck!! Check ebay for some of his auctions...

No, he's still in business.

I got my strakes and have them installed. Let me tell you that they look absolutely fantastic. They glisten in the sun and they look hot!!!

I had a good experience with Howard so far. The strakes haven't arrived yet, but he was prompt when I emailed him about them and it turns out they shipped the day I ordered them. I'll let everyone know how are they when they come.

I just bought them live in Canada see how long it takes him!

Mine arrived 10 days after I ordered them. Great quality, excellent directions. I wish he made more parts!!!

I ordered on June 10th and recieved them this morning June 15th, so in other words this guy is awesome
