BigUps to Rx8Strakes for these.

i have them too. they look great. really unites the front and rear windows together.

i personally would like to switch to the plain piano black ones some day, but these definitely keep it looking clean until then.

price is the thing holding me back too... that and having to decide which ones to get. The only one I've ruled out is the faux CF ones.

are they the cheaper "stick and fit" ones? I keep having flashbacks to my childhood trying to adhere revell water decals to models and ending up with a blob of wrinkles.

Thats exactly what they are.

They are easy to put on just make sure you line it up right, and you prep the area. or els

i got them from finishline/rosenthal. they were 55$ and there was a 10$ discount coupon. 45$ was absolutely worth it. The plastic used to get all fingerprinty. This doesnt, and i agree that with tinted windows, it unites the glass. From a few feet with some glossy reflectiveness, you'd have a hard time telling its not all glass.

this one is around 55 bucks.

the expensive one you guys are referring to is the piano black with the rotary emblem and rx-8 logo inside. well the real japanese one.

I have the same. I'm a bit meticulous with alignment and I must add that you only have one chance to stick them on correctly.

Well one and one half. I was half way in my right side and I pulled it off, carefully but you need to pull evenly.
