I opted "out" for the side strakes but my brother bought 'em for his. I thought they looked "add-on", he seems to love the look...waddya think?

Hi Digitool

I have them, don't like the way they look. Sorta spikey, detract from clean lines of car. Feel the same way about the rear spoiler, but strakes are worse, IMHO.

On black w/o the seam showing I would say OK...on any other color I would say "no way"

Mines black, and still for the money, I say no way...

(BTW, North Hollywood Honda wanted $1000 for the front spoiler, $1000 for the rear and $1000 for the strakes...the sticker on the car was $46,500...I went screaming from the showroom)

Tacky, plus I think you have to drill holes in your baby!

I have all the Honda addons. The strakes look good to me, but the fit is questionable.

Here's my car:

Not for me. First dealer tried to force front and rear for $1800, so I bought from another dealer.

Sides strakes look so added on. Would you really pay $328.80 for a couple of pieces of plastic? No way!
