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

auzoom

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.

auzoom

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.

eastaznboi

i think there should be a contrast in color, or else the strakes are hardly noticable

auzoom

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.

The Mighty Red

I've got the matching red ones. I prefer a nice subtle accent as opposed to the bling of the chrome ones.

DOMINION

Hummm. I have a blue 8 too. Dont think I'll do the color match but I'll go with silver.

Moostafa29

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...

^2tone, got a pic?

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?

auzoom

rodrigo67, ar you saying your car is black and you are thinking of painting the the strake grill silver and getting black strakes?

Interesting. Cant say as I have seen it done. Would definately want to see it before doing it.

rodrigo67

Yes, I have seen a couple of cars that have painted thier grills silver and had body colored strakes. It looked good, but I haven't seen a black one yet.

I guess if you wait a few more weeks( when the weather warms up, It snowed today) I'll posts pics of mine...

It wouldn't look out of place because I already have silver front oil and ac screens...

rx8wannahave

^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.

rodrigo67

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.

OOOOHHHHHH, I like the caliper color! Never seen that before! Like a Porsche. I have the actual Mazda strakes on my black and they look good I think.

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

rodrigo67

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