Has Anyone Ever Had Problems With Howard (Stainless Steel Strakes Guy)
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

Well worth the wait; beautiful strakes
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.

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.
They'll be worth the wait.

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!
