Thanks for the input on the chrome. I guess I will have to find someone who can machine these for me out of stainless. Is there a specific type (number) I should be asking about? Also, does anybody know a good machinist somewhere near Washington DC (Philadelphia, PA to Richmond, VA) that could do good quality work without charging rediculous prices?
Thanks all.
Thanks all.

The question is not about the fender strakes, but rather about getting such strakes manufactured for the fog light / oil cooler openings.
Actually, I think one strake per side would look sharp. Something what the X-Men car had, but that did not have fog lights.
If someone could manufacture one strake per fog light, then I'd be interested as well.

One would look good, but I was wanting two to keep consistancy with the lines in the lights... Still no takers on the manufacturing, but if there is interest here I will try and set up something once mine are done (and I can post some pics...)

Post the pics when you finish the project, I would like to see it.

The lines on the front are very strong, but in a dark color like black cherry, they become lost. I thought about using bright screens for the oil coolers and radiator, but the pics I saw on black RX's didn't look that hot. So I thought a touch of something shiny down there would accentuate the lines. Probably not for everybody, but I am still looking.
