Well I bought the Winning Blue Strakes from rx8strakes.com and apart from a stuff up by me when I was installing them I think they look great

 

Ohh and the left side that has the "stuff up". Which was that I droppedstrake holder:-(

 

Nice. I really hate the various shiny strakes, but I must admit the color matched ones are pretty nice looking.

 

Thanks mate. I was also considering colour coding front and rear accents to???

 

I'm still debating if I should get the TG to match or get silver ones.

 

i think there should be a contrast in color, or else the strakes are hardly noticable

 

eastazboi, personally I think with the strakes, the contrast is provided by the black "air duct" that they attach to.

ndtechie09, on the "Silver"/"Grey" coloured cars, I personally think the chrome looks better.

 

I've got the matching red ones. I prefer a nice subtle accent as opposed to the bling of the chrome ones.

 

Hummm. I have a blue 8 too. Dont think I'll do the color match but I'll go with silver.

 

Thats actually pretty nice. Maybe I could paint mine. I have to admit I'm tired of the chrome now.

 

I think for black at least, I'd prefer the bling bling ones. But, the color ones look good too...

 

i went with black strakes on my black 8 - great quality from rx8strakes.com. i like the subtle look ... thinking about painting my badges black too.

 

^2tone, got a pic?

 

I think they look awesome as well. Nice and minimalistic:

 

The body color strakes look good on cars that have different color grills, as most have black. But I'm not sure it would work on a black with black grills. I'm thinking of painting the grills to match the rims and getting black strakes. Anyone have a pic of these?

 

rodrigo67, ar you saying your car is black and you are thinking of painting the the strake grill silver and getting black strakes?

Interesting. Cant say as I have seen it done. Would definately want to see it before doing it.

 

Yes, I have seen a couple of cars that have painted thier grills silver and had body colored strakes. It looked good, but I haven't seen a black one yet.

I guess if you wait a few more weeks( when the weather warms up, It snowed today) I'll posts pics of mine...

It wouldn't look out of place because I already have silver front oil and ac screens...

 

^yes...please share pic's ASAP once you get them on your 8. I have a black 8 and I've thought of this for a while now.

 

ok. I snapped off a few quick ones, but some didn't come out. I will take better ones tomorrow...

 

I think they only work for bright colors. Dark like black and grey and green need to go with chrome.

 

OOOOHHHHHH, I like the caliper color! Never seen that before! Like a Porsche. I have the actual Mazda strakes on my black and they look good I think.

 

I have the white ones and I like the look on white
I think also the darker colors need silver or chrome ,,something to make the contrast a little more evident. Otherwise you lose them in the darkness of the color.
I do like the Blue on Blue

 

ok, the pic of just the grill doesn't look right, you have to see the thing as a whole...
