Damn you Drk.. now I'm rethinking about buying strakes grrr
I hate coping others so I'll pass these for now. (havent seen my brother yet either he's been busy working so I havent asked about the um tail light issue haha)
Though a question is jay going to toss in the metal backing also or will it be plastic or any at all? Just tossing that out since I havent seen it addressed yet.

OK. I did a quick read of this thread and I'm not sure if we're talking about this one:



or this one:



or this one:



Sorry I missed this thread since you already have the lucky #15 contributers.
Could I be # 16? That way it would only be about $19 a person.

We might be able to get 20 or 30 members interested if this was a sticky...
That would lower the investment even more... (no kidding EBF, duh!)

Also, I didn't see the post which gives an estimated price for EVO to make these to us...

Let me know if I can be part of this project.

Sounds like you should be able to buy Strakes from the converts here...
Myself included.... I have two set's (8 Strakes) I'll be selling if I get in on this deal...

I believe he is replicating the au-to bahn's exactly including the mesh Clavius. I will make sure to confirm with him.

Hey EBF... hows that MazdaSpeed wing you bought in the for sale section? I'm jealous you picked that up! Love my BB baby!

No need to get in on the initial investment EBF. It won't save you any money really.

The listed price from EVO-r is $78. Haven't confirmed if that includes shipping. We will all be paying that price in the end. The guys that put in the initial $20 will be buying them for $58.

Save your money till the product is released!

The first and the last are the same guys. The first one is FRP painted and the last is their CF model. The direction of the mesh is just different.

MS Wing is installed. The finish was pretty rough when it arrived!
I had it detailed by a pro and it looks "almost" new.
I might be selling it to get a Lip Type Spoiler...
The MS Wing sits us pretty high and blocks the rear view...
I don't know, I wish I could make up mine mind... "if I only had brain" - Tin-man / OZ / Kansas

Thanks for the info on these vents. I will definitely want to be in on the buy from EVO-r.

Would you be interested in swapping for a stock wing? I love the aggressive looks of the MS wing. My whole car was just professionally buffd so mine is in pretty good shape....

any idea if the difference in the mesh appearance is because of the orientation or maybe just a lighting issue or something? Or maybe it's painted in the first one

Diamonds in the mesh are horizontal in the first and vertical in the last.

yeah, but is that the reason that they appear so obscenely shiny in the second one, like the cheap shiny plastic used on model cars. :p

not sure, but there is another company out there that makes these fender vents very much like the au-to bahns. i couldn't tell them apart really. it's in one of the hyperrev issues.

at first i wanted cf vents but i think these are more affordable and... i don't have any cf on my car anyway. my plann will be an experiment to see what color works haha and which way the vents look better. not sure if i will be painting the mesh either.

I'm not gonna paint the mesh. The screens will match the rb screens.

I do plan on painting the vents black.

Uh... OK, I'm in IF, anyone who's getting theirs painted black is willing to have mine painted along with theirs, then ship mine ot me. Of course, I'll split the paint, pay shipping. Anyone interested?

BTW, I'm in So Cal, so if anyone local is willing to do it, that's even better.
