Strakes......grey or Polished?

Okay...I think i may be screwed.....I just put on a set of strakes and I just noticed that they are the same grey as the rims and not polished as I had thought.

Yes I know the diference between polished and not, BUT are there grey strakes? If so, I"m not as happy as I should be.


didn't really occur to me until they were already on and they were the same color as the rims....that got me wondering.

Sux. What color is your car? Maybe it works since they match your rims.

I thought I had read a post earlier where a dealer got in a batch of them in the gray but he sent them back for the polished.

gray stakes

Yes, I called Mazdatrix and they were the ones that were about to sell me gray strakes. He 'said' they were what Mazda sent them but also mentioned they looked kinda painted. Which makes me think there might be knock-offs floating around. Are the ones you got metal or plastic?
