Question about the Side Strakes
Hey guys, I was interested in ordering the strakes through a dealer, but havent talked to them about how they are installed. I'd rather ask the dudes here first :D
So, to anyone that knows, are the strakes glued on? or do you have to drill holes? Anyone know? And man, I am at 1600kms (finished break in) and am revving up to 8000-8500 rpm everychance I get. This car is fun to drive!:D

If you look closely at the vents behind the front wheels you will see where they mount. Haven't installed them (yet :p ) but it looks like they just bolt on....

I work for a dealer but there is no holes to drill, you must remove the fender wells for safe installation however, we have experienced damage to the air vent if you don't!!!!

There are complete instructions with the strakes. You remove the vent and the strakes bolt on and are also double side taped to the body -- it looks quite simple (unlike the exhaust finishers 
)
