Sign me up for a set of three strakes (on each side), if they'll be under $100...
That emachineshop site is amazing! I can do some aluminum work in my garage workshop, but not formed pieces with compound curves, like the strakes.

I know I'm sorry. I went on a two week vacation (duely needed!). I'll get them out Monday. I promise. I'm going to put the sets I'm sending you and Gyro on my car to assure a fit... Here's a pic of the 'line'.

Thanks antichristpm! I thought you forgot about us 
Can't wait to see what they will look like on the car. Wondering if I should have them painted silver or use touchup paint to paint them black...for that subtle look. Anyone have any idea's?

what i would do
I'd suggest either taking it to a pro or investing in a $40 airbrush and a small bottle of clear coat. I think we all got the little touchup bottles for free. You could more than easily paint all 4 with that bottle then clear coat it afterwards. They're primed white and may need a little sanding but they look more than suitable to me.

I'm not too sure I would use the touch up though. I would go with a professional spray gun.
If you decide to to the Sunlight Silver. I can have my guy do it with the pint of paint I buy.

Gyro:
I might take you up on that offer. I could send mine to you and you could have them painted up sunlight silver. I bet even with silver against the black it would look sweet. I'll let you know when I get them in.
Thanks!

My car came with them on it. It was a demo and they came off the sticker $3900. I can live with the 3600 miles that were on the car. I also got the Exhaust Finishers, Rotary Accents, Aluminum Door Sill Plate, Rotor Shaped Valve Stem Caps.
