My Shinka's Strakes
I purchased a used 2005 Shinka (Black Cherry Mica) just recently. The Strakes (which I dont belive are original with the car) were painted to match the Black Cherry of the car. The paint on them seems to have not had a clear coat and is starting to fade away.
I am looking at picking up a new set from Rx8Strkes.com and I'm wondering if anyone can speak about the durability of the Black Cherry Mica paint from them. I would hate to run into the same fading after a year.

I have velocity red strakes from them, and they're awesome... but I've only had them two months so I can't speak to their durability yet. I've only ever heard good things about these guys, tho. I would say go for it!

I take great care of my car (as many know). I bought a color matched license plate frame in VR from them. After 6 months it started to turn pink. Mind you I waxed it all the time and 90% of the time my car is in the garage. I asked if they would replace and the answer was, "No, it's not within the warranty period". How do you warranty a plate frame? Needless to say I was a bit upset. In the end I had to repaint myself.
