Looks great, I'm thinking about adding strakes to mine. Are they difficult to install and did you do it yourself? Are they glued on or do you have to drill???

Its Easy
To install the strakes:
1)remove two plastic "rivits" and on mud flap screw from the rear of the front fender
2) pull the plastic liner away from the fender on reach behind the fender vent
3) place pressure on the clips holding the vent onto the fender
4) Place strakes into vent at designated positions and insert special washer and bolt.
5) Remove adhesive tape cover and place vent back into fender opening.
6) tighten bolt into strake while allowing retainer washer to drop behind metal fender supports across vent opening
7) turn and repeat
About 1 hour total time.
I purchased them from www.Rotary13B1.com and painted them to match the wheels. The are as good as the OEM strakes at half the price. I highly recommend.
