the only way I'd have side strakes is if the car came with them. I'd add an asm spoiler or gtm spoiler

My first S2K had the side strakes. They looked OK, but I think the car was fine without them.

It also had the front spoiler and the rear one, too.

My current (3rd) has nothing, but am considering going F+R at some point.

I think the "classic" one looks good. The "wing" one is growing on me, but I think it may be too over the top...and I have a Suzuka.

My new car has both, although the spoiler was my choice in the poll.

does the side strakes have a use? I remeber that in the Mazda RX-7 Turbo II the side strakes makes a positive effect on drag coefficient

I'd say rear spoiler. Personally i hate the look of the side strakes, i just removed mine and welded up the holes before paint. To each his own though, go with whatever you like more, or do both

Strakes look good sometimes in person. I've never seen then in person up until this past weekend at wekfest. In person I really hated the way they look. Just my opinion of course. OEM spoiler
