Body coloured strakes and wheels?

No, I haven't done it . This is an opinion quest.

I think this could work on red or blue RX8's ... Imagine body coloured strakes and different wheels with black rims and body colouted spokes/centre???

I did see fender vents on one RX8 picture altered (either chrome or aluminium looking) and it made me realise that they are a focal part of the car.

What do people think?

Well the reason I'll be getting the Strakes is for the ability to contrast the original body color.... so it kind of gives some compliment to the sweet rear lights...

Not a bad idea...

D&V Autobody has already ordered the black vents in order to paint them the same color as the car. We are toying with this idea however if it does not look good then I am putting the old black ones back on. They also just finished the custom titanium gray badging to go with the car. Nothing big but alot of little things add up.
