I have seen these before but really when you consider getting them painted properly an OEM set isn't that much more and it will definately match and come with hardware but if you have an easier color to match then have at it.

I hadn't thought of that. I only considered how much of a pain in the but it was to find a set in GPW and when i did i couldn't bring myself to send money to a stranger with no guarantee. so im just taking less of a risk. bad matched strakes are better than none to me can always try again. paint from automotivetouchup.com i've heard good things. that puts me at $180(get em, might not match) instead of $225-$300(might get them at all) or $400+ (defiantly get em right)

Its the "OEM+" look i'm going for, different but not F&F. Also, I could say the same about shiftknobs, lug nuts, heck even hardtops. function rarely ever justify's price with this car....

White is easier to match than many of the colors like NFR or the yellows. Plus its a small part so it shouldn't be to noticeable.

I ordered a set myself about a week ago and I received them the next day since I also live in Washington. I had left over paint from painting my lip so that came in handy. Just waiting for a free day so I can put those and my new side diffusers on at the same time. From what I can tell, they fit pretty good. Definitely not like OEM though.

I'm trying to match em with low pro aero sides. not a bad look really want the GP sport rear pieces to complete it but those are elusive.
