Oh crap!! ....you've got me all excited now...well actually the strakes. My red strakes are on order as we speak. I was dying to see a picture of them on a car. I'm sooo glad I ordered the red instead of the standard look.


Looks Fantastic!

It blows me away how such a little detail like the strakes does so much for the car..I think they help bring out the crease that runs along the door at the door handle height.

Yeah looks HOT!!! I would like to see what the titanium ones look like on the car. Then I might get those over regular dealer ones.

Colored red strakes don't look too bad, nice unique accent to show of the the car.

I like red cars, but a little bit too much red on this one for me.

what site did you get them at..??

I bought them from a member on this site that makes them....PM the member D Menac 7 to get more details. They were half the price of Mazda's OEM strakes...and you can't tell the difference between them (except for the fact that mine are red and Mazda's are silver).

Pardon my expression, but I don't get the whole stakes thing altogether....costs a bomb, no functional improvement whatsoever, purely cosmetic...wouldn't you rather have a nice set of Volks or Mille Miglia's to replace the stock rims? Sure the rims cost more, but on your nice red 8 they would make much more of an impact in terms of style...well, IMO.

Mugatu that looks amazing!!
BTW- wat type of paint did you use for the callipers?

Red on Red - that's a nice look. I keep waiting to see black strakes on the VR.

Thetitanium8 - I just installed gunmetal mica on my Ti yesterday that you can check out in that same forum if you're interested.

Hmm, not sure how you can compare strakes to rims. Sure I would love to have some Volks, but that cost $1000+, whereas strakes cost $80. But then, that's MY opinion. You're welcome to give me the money for new rims though.

Also, to answer phrozenhandlez's question, I used the G2 caliper paint.

Funny. I really didn't like the strakes at all until I saw your color keyed ones. Look nice.

Lookin good, Mugatu. :D

Irish8 correct me if I am wrong but you are getting black strakes. If you can when you recieve them and get them installed post some pics in order to see how they look blk/blk. If they look good blk/blk I will be ordering also. Either way thanks.

DrRockin99

Mugatu , looks awesome , hate to copy you but I might have to go that way myself ! Totally impressed with that look !

Nope, Irish8 is getting his in aluminum. I am hoping to finish them by mid week. They are in the process of getting their aluminum finish tomorrow night.

As far as black ones go, My10AE has black ones on his Brilliant Black RX-8 that he got from a former short term manufacturer on here who decided the work was just too much. Here are some photos of his at this thread. Black Side Strakes

However, he decided he wanted a set from me and his is on their way to the post office tomorrow along with black front fog light strakes.

If you would like them in black, click my signature and you will open a link to our vendor thread that shows what we manufacture, their costs and how to order.

We make them custom made to order too. Any OEM or any other idea or possibility that may be thought up.

There are endless possibilities for the strakes and other unique items that we manufacture in our own garages. :D
