Side strakes or not to side strakes?

Not only do they look very tacked on, but apparently people have had some problems with them falling off! Not only that, you have to drill holes just to put em in too! I still like the rear and front spoilers though...and the front spoiler protects the actual bumper from being scratched, which is nice!

N-O ! NO! Repeat, NO!

Do not get the side strakes! Forget how they look, they are totally non-functional. They are a worthless add-on. Mine have already been replaced once under warranty because they pop off.

We had an autocross school on Sunday and during several slalom exercises, trying to get as close as possible to the center cone (and hitting many cones in the process), I had one pop off again.

They also require a hole to be drilled in the body, and some of the fender trim strip to be cut away.

A complete waste of money, I wish I had never gotten them.

Is that strong enough??!!

TFota,

I'm not sure if I get you. So you like the strakes?

I'm contemplating taking mine off, but I haven't had any trouble with them... yet. It's really just a matter of me being lazy. I haven't even installed my recently delivered Rick Aeroscreen or the Muz-Mat.

I wonder how long I'll procrastinate when my Nuespeed exhaust, Spoon x-brace and STB come in.

I need another job
