The strakes in question are being made by a guy out in UK who is making them out of stainless steel, unlike the pieces of crap that Mazda first manufactured.

How long did the install take?

Mine is replica but the instructions were great. Thanks again. 
The install would have been much smoother if I didn't have any holes to begin with (had OEM spoiler) but total time was about 2.5 hrs. Take away hole problem time and I'd say it took about 30-45 min.
Thanks Chicka!!! When are you coming this way again, Ms. Honorary DFW Peep? :p

Lol, I only have one left! My front went to Mr. Ed, then Jenkins and now Coop. Keeping in the spirit of the first and since you were the first to ask, it's yours for free. :D Just as long as I don't need it... :p

Thanks SlowLude! It is adjustable. There are 3 settings and it's currently on the middle setting. I may adjust it up one, but I'm still getting used to the lack of visibility out the back window! :p

Yeah, mine is right in the middle of the rear window! Even if I see a nice car, I can't see the driver! I actually have mine up 3 settings out of 4. I'm afraid of getting it stolen though... any thoughts on how to prevent that?

Dazy, any chance you were able to snap a few pics of the view? I'm making my decision soon and if it blocks the rear view too much i'm gunna have to go with the regular kind of boring spoiler
