Nice to see this project finished. It looks like the hard work paid off, and not a bad time-line going from prototype to production either.

I'm no expert, but I'd be willing to bet that quite a few members on this board would be interested in a front lip of some type, especially in urethane. For your next project, I vote for front lip!

Very nice, great look, well done. I like the "angled flares" as well.

First, like someone else, how did I miss this. I think these are very nice, but I think the top and bottoms (see up/down arrows) should have follow the line of the car. Just an opinion, but they do look nice.

Hopefully I can see these in person someday and you are still in production if I like them.

Take a look at this view and you will understand why I built them the way I did.

They are not flat. They have faux vents which would not look like vents if they were cut short like you are suggesting. They would just look like 2 out of place flaps on the side of the car.

Come on guys and gals. Ten out of all these forum members. I understand most owners are happy with thier current strakes but for those of you thinking about changing give this entrepreneur a fighting chance to get his business going. He's doing it for the love of the car. If he fails on a $150 item, there is no sense of continuing on this business track.

Like I said, the strakes aren't for everyone, but there must be at least four more brave souls out there.

As an incentive to those participating in this first batch I am giving a 25% off discount on their next order.. I have many products in development now which will be ready shortly.

Just a little over one more day for the order deadline.. we still need 4 more!

I agree.

Despite my huge favor for these, I had some expenses pop up last week that made the mod budget a bit tight for the next month or so. Sucks, because I was one of the most "on-fire" for these strakes.

I relayed this info to Jordan earlier this week, so he's fully aware. Just letting you all know that I wasn't purposefully holding out until the last minute. I'll have to miss this production run, but should be on board for the next.

Best of luck to you Jordan, these really pop and should look great. I'm eager to see these on some other colors..

I am going to continue accepting orders until thursday night.

I will start filling the orders which have already been taken even though we did not reach the 10 order minimum and will get them to paint this friday. They should all be ready to ship out next monday morning, including orders taken after tonight..
