Strakes or Accents?
I want to add some eye candy to my 8 in the form of strakes or accent package. For now it has to be one or the other. If it were your decision which would you choose?

I think accents are out of stock, I ordered two months ago and they are due in next week. So I think the most available item on your list is the strakes, and they do look great. If your strapped for money, I bought the RX-8 badge thats on the back of the car for $15.00 from the dealer, and put it on my front grille with hot glue, and it looks real sharp too. Now that the weathers better, I been meaning to post a picture of the addition.

depends on the colour of the car. However I have ordered Silver and I still think now after seeing one, that they look great even on that colour.
Question is, do they stay on in a car wash?!

Oh yah, no problem. They're held on by screws and washers from the back of the vent, and then are held in place by super-sticky double sided tape onto the car. Once the tape has cured, it's extremely strong.

By far the accents add more to the car.

I've searched all of these sites. I was referring to the accents in the picture on the black 8 where the fender strakes attach. I appears that on that car there are chrome or polished aluminum. Or, is this a self done job by the owner?

Stuck in a love triangle
I thinkhaving the accent in the front and back of the Rx8 is like how a Mustang has a polishedpony on the front of it. I asked a parts guy for them two weeksago and he said Mazda wont send any out for a few months so justget the strakes.
