~girliegirl~

 

nice pics, how much did the strakes cost?

 

Good pics, but I don't see a car in the 4th pic. Welcome to the family. Hope you enjoy your 8.

 

They look like the stainless steel one's someone's been selling on ebay ... nice WB!

 

they are the the stainless steel ones from the guy on ebay...they are a lot better then the factory ones and cheaper too.... they costed me like 140 shipped. anyways...

i have had my car since 12/03 so i have been in the family for a long time now but thanks for the welcome !!

enjoy the pix!!

 

strakes look great
keep up the good work

 

looks sweet, which ones are those?

 

Looks good.I like the chrome tank cover.
FYI: My wife would kill to live where you are,She just brought it up again today about how much she hates it here and wants to be there. I agree tho.

boy i guess u r in the miltary

 

Don't let Ike see it...he thinks strakes are rice but the big *** wing on a STI isn't.

I like the strakes......did you ever consider getting strakes that were paint matched to the car?

 

girlegirl, I really like those strakes and I was looking at them on ebay for a while. How do you install these strakes because I guess there are different types now. Let me know, thanks and it looks great! I hope to get a pair of these and put them on my SS.

 

Na,I work in south chicago and Live in NW Indiana.Sucks

Nice looking car! I like those steel strakes there .. very shiny!

You still haven't decided on you calipers yet, eh? Go blue!

 

Is the an Rx8 site or a WRX site? W(wanna) R(race) X(an X-8) ?

Just wonderin.

thanks for all the postive comments

well they are pretty easy to install....you have to go under the plastic behind your wheel....put your hand in there and pop out the vent. when you have the vent out you put the strakes where there suppose to be and screw them in from the back make sure there straight and then take the tape off and apply them to the car.....then put the plasctic back on right behind the wheel....

okay im not that good and explaining but hope it helps!!!

think im just going to go with black painted calipers....if i go red or blue i might be to ricie

K&N typhoon intake is coming in this week

 

the strakes look great......Ive been looking for a place to buy them other than Mazda (so freakin expensive)....thanks for the tip....I ordered them last night from ebay....I just bought a shinka on the 10th of this month....I think the stainless will look great on the black cherry and compliment the rims.....
Its nice to see another female spiffing up her 8.....got clear corners coming in, working on side aeros, splash guards and a rear spoiler with the dealer...they will have to be custom painted d/t the black cherry

 

To be honest they look OK.......maybe if you were in more of those pics I might change my mind....j/k

Im not a huge fan of the stakes and gas door but it doesnt look bad on the blue....

 

Sweet! I'm glad those look so good because I just bought the same stainless strakes off the ebay guy too, they're at the post office waiting for me to pick em up.

 

thats why i didn't buy them from dealer...i knew i would get them cheaper if i just waited a little just like my rotary accent package....i got the car without it and bought it on ebay brand new for a lot cheaper then dealership...can't remember the price cause it was like a year ago thanks for the responds. good to see another girl too!!!

 

Looks really nice, I like what I see of your neighborhood too.

 

those pics are at my parents house this easter sunday i wish it was my house

 

girliegirl,

Is that your blue rx8 I drive by going to work parked in the shopping center lot on US-19? If it is, then I can definitely say your ride is sweet.

 

HAHA yes it is!!! IM the manager at that Amscot on the corner...i used to work up in Largo but i just moved to that location!! i was wondering if anyone would see it...cause i back it in to a spot right next to us 19....but it sucks cause it gets so dirty from sitting there all day from the road and pollen

 

The pollen is getting NASTY down here even over on the east side. Its a nightmare for a black 8!!! I have a nice clean car in the morning and I come out 8 hours later and its COVERED. Ahhhh the Kozak:-) It wont help my burning eyes though

 

Wow !!! What a beauty !!!

Nice 8, too.
