Just had this done By AsetheticCreations.net out of Suprise AZ

 

i think you have too many different colors, stripes and stickers on your car. it looks way too busy and mismatched for me. It looks like they did a good job applying the vinyl stickers though.

 

Very nice. I bet the door handles would look god done that way also.

 

Yep, the surrounds and strakes look good. I'm not getting the same warm and fuzzies about the roof though. But hey what's important is that YOU like it.

 

Those strakes look exactly like the ones that SRT DAN did........

 

Not even close on looks (or price) - I like the OEM mod you did with yours tb...

 

I love the silver carbon on strakes and window surround...

But my only adjustment would be on the windshield lettering... I might would've gone with flat silver in a slightly less-gaudy font. The reason? Once people see the same pattern CF on the windshield stickers, they'll immediately think the strakes/surround are suspect. Whereas if it weren't for the lettering, they might not be apt to scrutinize the rest of the CF and it would fool way more people.

A minor thing, but a thing. But the work itself is fantastic! Major props.

 

I really like the surround and strakes.

 

Here are some pics of the back side finished

 

everyone has a look they like and I agree with the statement, if you like it, that is all that is important....happy modding...

 

Okay, my memory isnt what it used to be..... the strakes are the thing that stood out for me...

I am not a big fan of the CF look..... but it's not my car..... the workmanship is great..

 

How do the side strakes come off? Clips, do you have to go inside the fender to remove nuts anyway how would I get off to paint?

 

THIS PICTURE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE SKINNED A MACKEREL

 

You have to go in through the wheel wells and pinch the clips that hold them in place, there are 3 for each, and don't forget to run fishing line along the strake where it is stuck down to the paint. Also on the passenger side there is the washer fluid bottle inside the fender, that has 1 screw holding it in place, it then slides right out, once you release the coupler from the bottle to the fill tube. Its rather easy but takes a little time I just removed my front tires and the rest was easy.

 

Be easy HCarter, some of us like our Mackarel



I think they look better on black and I paid less than half asking price, you can't beat that

 

Whoooops!

 

You dont have to go in from behind to get the strakes off. Warm them up witha a hair dryer or heat gun, not too warm, use fishing line to work through the adhesive on the pointy end of the strake. One at a time. Best to put a piece of paper of something under afte your done and then do the next. Starting at the top, lift up on the back end of the strake and use a credit card to push the bottom and then top of the clip holding the strake to the body. Then do the next and the next. Again, it would be good to put something under each strake as you go so it dosent pop back in. There is adhesive under the black portion too, but mine just pull off. The front of the strakes have 'pins' the fit into holes on the body, that is why you start at the back end. They do not latch, just slide in and out. Have fun..

 

Maybe its the picture quality ,,,didn't mean to flame

 

I was J/K as everyone is entitled to their opinions, but ask anyone who has seen them in person, they look damn good on my little buggy. IMO a LOT better than the cheap faded black plastic (the bits between the silver) on most peoples strakes.

My real end game is to fill the holes and finish the area and repaint - no strakes at all - like Ichon. I think this is simply the cleanest look around....

 

Thanks For The Help On How To Remove The Side Strakes -- I Guess It Will Depend On How Bad I Want To Get Them Off For Redo.
