i side with you. as with EVERYTHING in this world - the answer is not a simple binary one, and the question to ask is HOW MUCH. in theory the strakes will help with aerodynamics .... but HOW MUCH?

one of my air "strake" fell off. i cant tell a difference in feel at highway speed... so unless someone has empirical data on its efficacy its all conjecture and hearsay PRACTICALLY speaking

however, whoever said they order new strakes every year, where from what what parts model???? the reason i want to replace mine is for aesthetic purposes... i cant stand looking at assymetric lower bumper!
