LA or Pasadena folks or Hell Any Socal people!
Hi umm I just made a pair of hand made strakes thanks to this DIY :
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...nd+DIY+strakes
Only problem is they came out great but i cant seem to get them the exact shape i want (which is the exact shape of the real OEM strakes) but I dont have any other strakes to compare them to and I have been trying for days and I cant seem to find any other Rx-8's driving around anymore! so is there anyone in LA or Pasadena That I could maybe meet and they could help me out with getting this done... I just wanna get it done

Soblazin, I have the ones from UK but they're installed on my car already.
Why not buy some from your local dealership and then just return them...

Ah, i c... That doesn't sound so bad then. I'm not too into the look of the strakes myself, but it sounds like a fun project to do yourself. I'm in Alhambra, CA btw...

Foothill & Rosemead... There's a Starbucks at that corner, and Sears is on that same block, right? I would go, but Wednesday night is our company X-mas dinner. Our big boss is flying in from NY just to attend. So, it would look bad if I skipped it, as our entire dept. is going. 
Maybe I can make the next one...
