Put these on a few days ago. The strakes & the front rotary accent. Here is the difference between the standard Mazda strakes & Howard's polished strakes. One is like the regular aluminum of a standard rim, and the other is like chrome.



Here is a picture of the front rotary accent. Not quite as noticable from the picture, but up close it is quite a bit different.

 

Wow Polish looks hott.

 

Would u mind let me know which one is from Mazda and which one is from Howard?

 

The ones on the car are from Howard (the shiny ones). The ones in my hand were the Mazda parts that I pulled off my car.

 

wait maybe you could help me out really fast..


The howard ones are the one from rx8strakes.com correct?

 

No, you get them from here :

its comming from over seas? so wait how much do they cost in US value

 

About 73 pounds for just the strakes = $135. For both the front rotary crest & strakes it is $207. The british pound has made a big run up recently vs. the american $.

Not bad considering just the aluminum strakes are almost $200 by themselves over at Rosenthal.

 

It worth buying from Howard, Better craftsmanship and cheaper if you ask me.

Mazda overcharges from ALL of their accessories anyway.

 

Nice set-up fanman! I'd love to get strakes but I'm looking for some to match the gold accents I have on my 8. I wouldn't mind continuing that to the rotary accents as well.
So far the only choice I've found is to have them fabricated.
