I just put a level to my 8 and noticed the crease in the body work running just above the strakes isn't level. If your strakes are parallel to this crease they won't be level to the ground.

The strakes should only be very close to parallel with the lines in the fender vent, not necessarily parallel to the ground.

I checked my strakes and they are indeed parallel to the vent bars. I have decided that I really like the look.
