Hmmm, I think $5 worth of metal and an hour or so of time.

Looks like the auction ended. If you really want a set (not stainless, though), you can just get them from Dennis at DLS Customs.

There's a new auction...I left the same link up there for the purpose of identifying the product. I'd really prefer metal ones, either stainless or aluminum, but the aluminum ones cost more, these are going for about 125

Just a little tidbit, the DLS strakes are metal as well and sell for less than $100.

The DLS strakes are not metal they are urethane so they don't corrode either like the stainless in this ad and yeah they are cheaper.

I stand corrected on the material that DLS/Dennis makes the strakes from. They're hard and durable, though, and are practically identical to the Mazda version.

They take a while for you to get them though as he is extremely busy. Here is what he told me about ordering strakes and accents from him.

Time frame is presently 6 - 8 weeks.
