My review of RX8Fun Front/Rear Rotary Accents

Love them! They were packed very well and arrived with not even a scratch. The front piece is surprisingly large since it has to exend pretty far back into the rotary cubby there. Derwankel included 2 retaining pins which were perfect and easy to slide in. The rear fit into the bumper perfectly and it was all really very easy to do. Instructions are detailed and professional, making installation a snap. Be sure and keep a towel under your work area as recommended. If you happen to drop your products they will have a soft place to fall and won't get scratched or damaged. These guys are using very high quality products which is exactly what would be expected by demanding RX8 owners

Please note mine were custom finished by Derwankel in Ghost Aluminum. Me not being a chrome fan, I explained that I liked the brushed aluminum type finish in the headrests, on the inside door handles, on the sides of the center console etc and he said he had just the thing for me - Ghost Aluminum. We gave it a shot and I absolutely couldn't be happier with the color and the look. They turned out awesome. I tried to get pics of the accents compared to the stock wheel because they are an amazingly close match, if that helps to give you a good idea of the color.


The price is more than right, Derwankel and D MENAC 7 are creative so don't be shy in letting them know if there's a certain color or a certain finish you're looking for. I've had products custom finished by both of them now through RX8Fun and I would recommend them to anyone. Oil cooler grills are in my future guys.

Thank you John and Dennis. You really have a hella great thing going here.

Great! This is the review I've been waiting for. I wanted to get the rotary accents from Mazda but felt that the price is a rip off. Now, I can feel confident that this alternative is something well spent.

I received my strakes and F/R accents last Friday. YAY! Superior quality and fabrication, great instructions, lead to a successful installation and significant enhancement to my car. Thanks John and Dennis, great work!
