Heh everyone has their opinions on style.

I say, leave shiney silver things for Chrysler to try and figure out where to put on THEIR cars.

Same here. About six months now and they still look great. I Ice them along with everything else.

I bought the front and rear rotary accentd from them as well. It's painted plastic, but it works fine for me.

The stainless steel strakes (from Howard in the UK) are fabulous. They shine like your Mom's good silverware—not quite as bright as chrome, but more a rich, lustrous shine. They have a "richness" about them—not at all crass or cheap looking. Some are afraid they won't match other metal on the car, but the shiny lugnuts on the wheels match well. Besides, they're so small and narrow, they don't come across as too blingy. A nice, smart accent—particularly on a dark car.

I wrote once and asked if they would refinish if problems occurred and they said yes and it doesnt have to be in the 30 day return period.
