Well I bought the Winning Blue Strakes from rx8strakes.com and apart from a stuff up by me when I was installing them I think they look great

Ohh and the left side that has the "stuff up". Which was that I droppedstrake holder:-(
|
Nice. I really hate the various shiny strakes, but I must admit the color matched ones are pretty nice looking.
|
Thanks mate. I was also considering colour coding front and rear accents to???
|
I'm still debating if I should get the TG to match or get silver ones.
|
i think there should be a contrast in color, or else the strakes are hardly noticable
|
eastazboi, personally I think with the strakes, the contrast is provided by the black "air duct" that they attach to.
ndtechie09, on the "Silver"/"Grey" coloured cars, I personally think the chrome looks better. |
I've got the matching red ones. I prefer a nice subtle accent as opposed to the bling of the chrome ones.

Hummm. I have a blue 8 too. Dont think I'll do the color match but I'll go with silver.
|
Thats actually pretty nice. Maybe I could paint mine. I have to admit I'm tired of the chrome now.
|
I think for black at least, I'd prefer the bling bling ones. But, the color ones look good too...
|
black on black
i went with black strakes on my black 8 - great quality from rx8strakes.com. i like the subtle look ... thinking about painting my badges black too.
|

|
I think they look awesome as well. Nice and minimalistic:

The body color strakes look good on cars that have different color grills, as most have black. But I'm not sure it would work on a black with black grills. I'm thinking of painting the grills to match the rims and getting black strakes. Anyone have a pic of these?

^yes...please share pic's ASAP once you get them on your 8. I have a black 8 and I've thought of this for a while now.

ok. I snapped off a few quick ones, but some didn't come out. I will take better ones tomorrow...
|
I think they only work for bright colors. Dark like black and grey and green need to go with chrome.

I have the white ones and I like the look on white
I think also the darker colors need silver or chrome ,,something to make the contrast a little more evident. Otherwise you lose them in the darkness of the color. I do like the Blue on Blue :beer05: |

ok, the pic of just the grill doesn't look right, you have to see the thing as a whole...
