I'm sure I speak for the rest of us full-price strake owners when I say, "You suck cebat!" ;-)

I paided 200 but that was in august

I think the strakes are sweet

Make-a-strake.....
 

A couple of us were sitting around yesterday discussing the prices of options, and the strakes in particular, when one guy has this idea to get some cast and polished, and sell them.......

Since this guy goes by the forum name"Canzoomer" and since he had that familiar glint in his eye, I would suggest you e-mail him with your interest in some cheap strakes.......

S

does canzoomer want to make a mazdaspeed kit also?????

that would be cool

hi guys, i was reading all the reply's on strakes .i'am a cnc machinist and in the works on making them for $100.00 for a set of (4) plus shipping $200 is crazy from the dealers but i bought set to copy and make some at my work on the side .i am not a vender,give me 2 weeks .i all ready make the rotor shaped valve stem caps with the rx8 logo on them on (E.BAY) CHECK them out
HAPPY REVVVIING

RX8MAN04:

you da man!! :) You taking orders yet for the strakes? I'm sure you'll be able to recoup your loss for the OEM strakes. Who else is interested? :D

After seeing the finished product in photos....I'm interested in saving a hundred bucks....thats for certain.

Finally something coming out of this thread that I started months ago. I would pay $100 for the 4 strakes, but definitely not $200 like other suckers here in this forum who think that's a "good deal".

count me in as a customer for the $100 strakes. where do i send my check?

rx8lover

you better keep waiting

But it feels nice already having them

i gave in and got them as a christmas present from my parents :o


I looked them over, theres absolutely no reason somebody couldn't get a cast knock-off for a couple bucks ( I actually got a quote for $30 a set for kicks). All it would take is some polishing time and a drill and tap. Too bad I'm too lazy and have no time < sigh> .

I had thoughts of chrome plating too since they aren't real real shinny.

I'm definitely interested...

Waaaall, no offense, but even $100 for a set sounds a bit high to me. But I would consider paying that for a good quality set.

100 bucks and Im there

Just purchased a set from ebay. $149...its worth doing a search...

Yeah, I believe you purchased those right before me, Irish. I wasn't too thrilled when I clicked on the BUY IT NOW and it told me they were already sold. =)

I guess I should be quicker on the trigger. =)

It always sucks when that happens, or if someone outbids you. Some guy paid $225 for strakes off ebay - must of been purely for the bid win.

Try emailing them, they might sell you a pair - they would save then on ebay costs...

Good idea.....

I put mine on last week. $158 delivered, off eBay. As everyone has said, the OEM strakes are both well made and unreasonably expensive. See my post on the install.

Aftermarket Fender strakes
 

Has anyone got an update on fender strakes that are available for less than $200 a kit? I've just decided it's too hard to justify that money for a few peices of aluminum and bolts. I also haven't had much luck finding any on Ebay.

I'm waiting too - I refuse to shell out $200 for 4 slivers of metal.

they are worth it

dont hold your breath for price to drop

*CAUTION*
 

I called Mazdatrix today and was about to order some strakes. I gave them all my information and he told me they don't have any of the polished aluminum or brushed. Supposedly their last batch came in all gray!!???

Anyone receive a set from these guys?

I cancelled my order because it sounded fishy.

my strakes, intake, exhaust, eibach springs have all come from mazdatrix but I have never heard of grey strakes

Well, they have dropped in price to $150 on ebay, and 185 with some other dealerships through this site.
