Also strakes suck too
. Another why have it item 
. QUOTE]
The first 8 I saw had them and I thought they were just part of the look- and I liked it! I think they might add a little drag if you are racing but the side windows would add much more... I like them because they hide the liitle bars behind the grill and they give a tiny amount of ding protection also silver looks good on blue with metal flake - I plan to add them just to finish the design - same as the rotary jewelry - think they should have included them like the car mats - Now if they just had a triangle door cover...
If your 8 has them already keep them - why mess up something that's a status symbol - it didn't hurt the sale when you got them- so whatever you got is OK -
The only other thing I have considered is a little subtle pinstriping just below the spoiler on the back - same design that mom got to put on her arm when she was trying to shock my-sister-the-troll when the troll said we needed a motorcycle and forbade mom to have a sports car. If she lived closer.............

I also have chrome rims, so it works well together. Looks really nice on a titanium gray car.

I thnk chrome gas caps are only looks good on roadster type of cars. and the gas cap has to be facing up.
and i guess for non roadsters, i like them on light colored cars.

To chrome or not to chrome, that is the question 
It's art - it's a discussion of esthetics - we are speaking here of gilding the lilly-
of perfecting design perfection - have you no soul????
