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.......

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

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".

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.

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...

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.

*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.
