What should I do about my car's appearance?
I have ordered several appearance items for my car. The last thing now to consider is strakes. What is the general opinion on strakes? Should I get them or no? If yes, I have two configurations that I am considering.
#1--Get the stainless steel strakes from the eBay seller in the U.K.
#2--Get the chrome fender vent covers to replace the black stock ones and get a set of titanium gray strakes from rx8strakes.com.

Skip the strakes and take your car to a good body shop and have the vents made functional!!
How are the hypermax II's doing for you? Mine go on soon with RB sways, hopefully it doesn't end up too stiff....

I like the strakes, they just cost to much. I have them and still like them, but I still kick myself in the ***, becuse I should have used the money to buy swaybars first. if you're all about the looks go for the strakes, if not you know what to do with your money.

The chrome vents look cheap to me, and wrong - they're clearly a plastic component chromed.

(I got mine a bit cheaper, but that's because my car is leased and I didn't want to throw money away on things I would have to give up with the car).
