Default New fender strakes

I have designed a new set of fender strakes

These are inspired by the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

They are now ready for purchase. PM me to place an order. To be included in the first batch you must be paid in full by tuesday October
5th. Orders placed by Oct.5th should ship out on monday October 11th

Price is $150 per set which includes paint, and mounting adhesive. Shipping is not included.

More pics on pages 7 and 8





Heres a mock-up pic I did with photoshop...

While I LOVE the looks of those... and I would buy them.... dont forget that there are mounting holes in the under the strakes and in the front under the black piece...... you will have to find a way to use, or cover them to look clean.....

I saw the mounting holes when I took the strakes off to paint them black. I have already taken them into consideration. They will definitely be covered up

Thanks for your input

Will that master part be for the right or left side? I prefer the driver's side so I can look at it when I get in.

Master parts will need to be made for both sides.

The strakes will stay the stock silver color.

The faux vents will be whatever the car's body color is

Any chance we can get some super-fine mesh between each slat? Or if nothing else, black plactic on the backing? Something that makes it appear functional. The one thing I've always hated about the Crossfire is how obviously fake the side vent is... the black part looks like a pocket comb.

At the edge of the vent it cuts back under to give it a functional appearance. It doesnt just go straight down. Hard to explain... sorry.

So there is no need for mesh or anything like that. It will just look hollow inside like the SLR McLaren does..

Sounds perfect. Will these come paint-matched, or will it be up to us to have them painted?

No worries either way.
