Can someone, anyone tell me where to buy fender strakes for my VR.

Canada or US

 

www.rx8strakes.com also some vendors here also carry various types of strakes.

 

Got mine from Rosenthal Mazda last week.

 

Are fender stakes used for killing vampires? Oh wait... you meant strakes.

 

Damn... I didn't catch that. I would have demonstrated wit as well.

 

Fender Strakes

Which are the best one's to get???

Silver Alloy
Rim Matched

Fender Strakes
Black Carbon
Fiber Finish

Fender Strakes

OR... Mazda's - Aluminum doesn't rust so should I get these instead and pay a little more?

Mazda® Polished Aluminum

Mazda® Satin

That, dear, depends on the look you're going for.

Would the silver alloy rust? I like the one's used on the Mazda's at the dealer...

 

Thanks DarkBrew!! Do you have them from that company? How do they look? Post a pic...

Do they rust? Very Nice DarkBrew... I want mines now...

 

They're chrome plate on aluminum so there's nothing to rust!

 

ebay. can't remember who the seller was but mine are stainless steel.

 

why would you want those stupid ugly things... do me a favor.. just dont list them in your mods list for christ sake!

 

I love my strakes! (not actually LOVE, well not since the court order )

I have the custom 3-per-side set from Derwankel, if I ever wash my car I'll post a picture.

Cool...I always wondered if I could do more than 2 per side. Post pics soon because I will order some day this week. Thx!

 

After looking at strakes of every color and finish on countless RX-8's everywhere, I'm here to tell you that the finest strakes in the land are…

the stainless steel strakes from Howard in England: http://rx8-accessories.com/

He will ship them to your home, and he accepts PayPal.

Hand-polished to a mirror finish, they're not quite as shiny—or brash—as chrome. Howard's strakes are the color and lustre of your Mom's fine stainless steel flatware that she uses only on special occasions. (Needless to say, they can't rust.) And when you pick one up in your hand, the quality and weight and smoothness of finish make you feel like it belongs on a Bentley Continental GT.

No strake is finer.

 

Strakes rule !!!

I had the OEM ones, and I changed them out for Howard's stainless steel units. While the SS units were heavier they were chromed and much nicer looking, vs. the aluminum OEM units.

 

Thx for all the info. Has anyone ever tried to put 3 on instead of 2?

Will it fit?? Now I have to decide which buyer to use...hmmm

 

I think three are too many. Makes the vent look "crowded" with strakes, IMHO. Two—or none—are best.

At least one person here had three instead of two. Search "strakes" and you might find a picture or two.

 

It will look like a Crossfire. Three strakes and you're OUT!

 

You can't just buy 3 and stick 'em on - the angles and lengths are all different, must be custom made.

LOVE my three-ways!

Three way or three somes... Okay, 2 is the way to go...
