Fender strakes in every colour

Hello all,
I've been looking for red fenders to match my red 8 all over the 'net & the very day i ordered (and paid for) stainless steel fenders I came upon this site...
www.rx8strakes.com/rx8strakes
If anyone else out there is looking for same-colour-as-your-car fenders, here is the place!
Regards
Rick

Let me know how you go.

I have a Strato Blue RX8 and I am thinking about some silver strakes as I cant find any in Strato.

Personally, I think the silver strakes make a nice contrast but each to their own.

You might find some piccies in some other part of the site.

I like the strato blue - was going to be my first choice but ended up with titanium instead.

Although...i think stainless would look very nice with those polished alloys of yours (top colour BTW)- Miss Rx 8 told me about a site on ebay where you can get stainless steel (not OEM crome) and they looked great on her 8 which is the same colour as mine. That's where i ordered mine from, they cost about 73 UK pounds and have fitment instructions incl. I wanted something else to match my hymee exhaust.
:D

Speak of the devil, its been about 2 weeks since she last posted. I thinks its time to have a beer for Kalli and all the hard work she is doing helping us ordinary people suck back a few of those hard earned dollars from little johnny! CHEERS !!!

Glad you're happy with them mate but I gotta say after seeing them I still prefer the strakes to contrast with the paintwork.

Each to their own. Enjoy.

I have been toying with the idea of strakes for a while now. It seems to suit all other colours except for black so I am not fully convinced yet.

I have not seen photos of black strakes so I cannot comment on how they will look.

I like your CF side vent Taka. The OEM ones are hard to clean. I understand you can buy strakes to suit these vents as well.

Can't remember where now but I saw a photo of a black 8 on the forum with shiny chrome strakes and wheels - looked very classy IMHO.

Speaking of strakes, there was a red car on the Sydney cruise with four instead of two per side (was this rx-evolv's car??). I thought that was a good look as well.

I agree, 4 strakes per side look great, they will be my next purchase (this weekend if I can do a runner from fixing some **** around the house :p ). I'll pull a wife move and tell the missus that they were on special and only cost $50 per set of four! I'm going for chrome to contrast the Titanium.

Did you get your strakes from the RX-8 strakes.com site? How do you like the quality, fit, etc. I'm hoping for some for Xmas.

Zoom, Zoom!

Quality is good. Just remember to screw them in pretty tight - mine are already a little loose.

Cheers,
John
