I'm a "Street Is Neat" guy myself, but I think these look very nice! Nice job, too.

I love the red over the black vents. Are you the first person with 3 strakes per side?

I really like the red. One of the many nice things about doing business with DLS 'eh

Very nice job flip. Are they spaced out exactly the same distance? The one in the middle looks a slight tad on the low side. Maybe its just the picture or the vent doesn't allow them to line up exactly ?

The paint match also looks fabuluous. I might do the same on my red 8 as well.

Very nice!! They look great. I got my strakes from Dennis a couple of weeks ago. They look amazing on the car. The quality of them is great. Check these out...

As far as i know, Derwankel had the first 3 strake setup.. i may be the first w/ the matching color though

i'll take new outdoor daytime pics asap.. i'm waiting on my MS wing to get painted.. so i'll update y'all then..

Hey flip, now that you went with the red strakes, I wanted to know if you had the rotary acceents front/back and if you, are they in aluminum or Red. If not, is it something you are taking into consideration and what would your preference be.? Trying to get you opinion so I can place one order for all the things I want from Demac7.

Thanks in advance.

Ummm, there is no place to put a front or rear rotary accent on the MS body kit.

I, personally, like the way the strakes make the connection from one side of the vent to the other in the Velocity Red OEM color.

I do not have an MS Body kit on mine and I have an aluminum one on the rear and a black one on the front. Yes, I said black. I also have a black front M badge. I have he Velocity Red too. I like to keep the colors simple, the front is Velocity Red and black accents, the rear is a bit blingy though. Some chrome billet below and a chrome strip on the rear edge of my trunk.

It is all to the tastes of the individual, really, one can customize and satisfy themselves. That's what is really inportant.

I do believe there is a three per side set in velocity red floating around in Canada but I didn't make them derwankel did and they came out of the same mold.

Look in the near future for an 8 that has a six strake set, front and rear accents and fog light accents all done in Gun Metal Mica installed on a Titanium Gray. Also, they will have the Oil cooler grills and AC Condensor Grill installed. I know I want pics of this one too!

Thanks goes out to flipstream and Irish8! :D

Looks excellent.....I think the fact the strakes are Red on Red makes 3 strakes work very well.

Good job to all!
