For those who have installed the Fender Strakes, I'd like to know if the strakes themselves are directional. Meaning....can you just flip the right side ones and put them on the left side and vice versa? Or are they position specific, meaning the top right piece will only go on the top right, etc. Thanks!

See the DIY, which shows photos of the strakes and their markings... they are all uniquely marked, but I never sat down to figure out if 2 of them are really identical.

I have since I am casting a mold of them to soon offer resin replicas. They are each unique by the fact that the left is a mirror of the right both uppers mirror each other and lowers do the same. If you tried to place them on the oposite sides, the strakes would lean down, per se. The diagram is merely for detrermining which is which. I dod a photoshop disection of the diagram once and on it, they are identical but physically, they are not. They are position specific. They are so specific that if you do not put them in the right hole of the side grilles they do not look right and it has been discussed on the forum that they diagram which identifies the holes is incorrect.
