I've heard of that... He may be the one running that or selling on the site, but I'm not sure. I bought mine off eBay for just over $100 I think.

The instructions that come with Howard's strakes aren't the greatest...

There's a DIY on here that is much better

Agree that Howard's weren't great, but I read it a couple times and used common sense and it wasn't that hard.

I have Howard's strakes too. I tried to follow his directions on strake placement in the grills, but you had to assume they sit right next to the solid plastic rib. Other than that confusion, the strakes weren't difficult to install, and they are still looking great!

dazygirl: Your rims look great! Do you mind telling me how much you paid?

Thanks Cue!

I bought them off ebay, for $500 if I remember correctly.

I got the stainless ones too, and I like them better than the others...but for those interested, I just saw colored ones on ebay for 40 bucks

Pretty sure I saw red and white too

antiver and Dazy I am looking on ebay and I see a ton of them...which one did you all buy from? Any from howardfb are good?

Gambit

I don't see his ad up there right now.

You can tell which the stainless are because the price is listed in GBP as like 65 pounds or so, and his pictures are of his strakes on a winning blue

IMO the satin finish aluminum (OEM) look better than shiny stainless steel.

Hello,

I installed yesterday my red strakes that I received from www.RX8Strakes.com. I must say that the quality is very good. He used the OEM strakes as masters for the molds, they are perfect copies. I must also say that the communication with Dave is very easy. I always replied promptly and with complete answers.

I strongly recommend doing business with him, trust me you won't be disappointed.

Sorry my pictures were taken at night, they are a little bit dark.

^Nice! they look really good. I may have to check them out..

I got mine yesterday, and all I can tell you is that I've never seen such a good quality replica, perfect color, perfect fit, perfect packaging. Not bad at all, and I only paid $55 shipped to my house.

I just installed clear corners yesterday night. Here's 2 pictures with my new red strakes and clear corners.

Looks beeyoootiful, humagin. Were those clear corners hard to install?

Those strakes look great.

I'm still up in the air about painted strakes. Isn't the whole idea to make them stand out? I really like the polished strakes.

I was just at Mazda on friday they had strakes there for 400$..is that not a retarded price...I asked her double check and she said that was the price....Sundance Mazda in Edmonton.

jenkins-crew
