Thanks and good luck with your venture. I hope there is enough interest to make it worth your time and effort.
Thanks for the encouragement Ben. I would agree that the strakes are poorly executed but it's really the 'faux' grilles between the stakes that annoy me the most, especially when I see them up close when washing the car. I am quite happy that the strakes are set proud of the surface for styling reasons, but a bit of proper grill material between would have been much more convincing. There is quite a bit of work to make them truly functional though since inner arch/wing will need attention too.
