received and installed strakes on my TI. bought from ebay-er Howard in UK. lightning speed delivery. received in just 4 dayz. recommend him to any 8 owner considering of getting fender strakes.

 

Strakes look great......I too ordered a pair from Howard in the UK....should be here any day now.....how was the install?

 

very easy. it comes with instructions. it took me abt 20 minutes to get it done. u can go to http://www.finishlineperformance.com...&preadd=action to print out the instructions. hope to see yours very soon :p

 

Nice 8 william, I'm going to be getting them for my SS 8 soon. I am from San Jose and I bought my Tein springs from Rotary Extreme. Good group of guys heh.

 

William--Is that your house? Nice! My sister lives in San Fran. Love the city.

Strakes look great, btw. How much were they?

 

wish that were mine
it is in the most exclusive area of SF called Pacific Height. very tranquil hilly setting and the view is just breathtaking. that house behind my car wud worth at least 15 millions :o

the strakes from ebay-er Howard in the UK are really superb quality. cost $140 incl. shipping. it took abt 5 days from order to installation. lightning speed delivery.

go to this site to order one

ATTN : Howard - got to have some commission for promoting yr products he.he... :D

 

they look very orginal and dont stand out on your car
im afraid they wont look right on my sunlight silver

 

Wow stainless. i can see why they are shiny. They are really nice.

But i agree with Kel, it puts too much bling on a sunlight silver. I have aluminum OEM fender strakes. They dont bling, But they're freakin' nice.

 

I'm really thinking about getting these off ebay like I said above. I have the DIY Billet grille like you have Ngo, but I have the front lisence plate, ugh. Don't you think it would look nice on the silvers? You can checkout my cardomain page for pictures of the car. www.cardomain.com/id/silverrrx8

 

Another question, hows the installation? Does the tape come in contact with the paint? If so, won't this damage/scratch?

 

wtf strakes are 140 off ebay???? i have them on my car from the factory but i didnt know they were that much!! its like 5 bucks worth of material!!! thats just plain nuts... how much do factory ones cost?

 

the strakes from ebay are very finely polished. look better than OEM one on my TI car. you have to see it to appreciate it.

factory costs 195 plus tax.

 

Yeah, they're not cheap. DLS Customs here makes the most inexpensive ones I've found, and they're still about $95. I personally like the look of them, though, so I caved in and bought them from DLS, though I agree that accessories for the 8 are generally overpriced (i.e., $60 clear corners).

 

william, if you don't mind, can you take some up close pictures of the strakes. I'm really interested in purchasing these for my 8, however I've noticed that these a fairly thinner than the OEM / DLS Custom's strakes. Although they have more flash, to me, these arn't doing the trick from the pictures I've seen.

 

there are not thin as some might have thought. better quality and appearance than OEM in my opinion.
