RX8Fun Strakes Review
 
5 Attachment(s)
Hello all I will make this short. My strakes were shipped on the 16th and they got here on the 20th. Very happy with the packaging (lots of bubble wrap). Once I had them unwrapped I was amazed how heavy they are for their size. They feel as if they are made of metal. The paint had some imperfections , but nothing that noticable unless you look from 6 inches away. The instructions were very clear and well put together. It was a 20min install taking my time. The fit and finish are the same or better then the factory strakes. I am very happy with this purchase . Great work guys. Keep it up. Here are pics

looks good, but you should consider also painting that red rubber insert the silver color of the strakes, or a flat black from a rattle can. reguardless, red is one of my favorite colors for the 8. good job rx8fun. Also, arent the rx8fun strakes made by dmenac 7?

We both make them, these came from derwankel. These have the new finish that the ones I am making have. Both derwankel and myself make these same parts, he makes some I do not and vice versa. It's a matter of who designed what and who made and owns the mold.

Very nice looking indeeed!

Great product, all the way across the pacific!
 
Hey Guys

Recieved and installed in little old New Zealand, arrived in about 4 days from when you sent.

Very happy with fit and finish, can't wait for what you come up with next, exhaust surrounds at a reasonable price would be high on the list! Not urethane i guess!!

Cheers

Mike

Just installed my Velocity Red strakes on my car....they look great. :) Its amazing that such a little detail can do so much for the car.

The installation of the strakes was easy...pulling the inner wheel well was a pain on my car. One side came out easy the other side was a bitch...I'll have to replace two fasteners.


I'll post some pics in the next couple of days.
