I was kidding about the BBK lol. But I am considering getting some slotted rotors in the future.

Just did this mod, came out really nice. I'd also recommend sanding down the calipers before spraying down with cleaner in order to get a smoother finish. Also, the VHT SP730 Gloss Clear (clear coat) over the MotoGfx vinyls makes it look even better. Just hope it lasts!

Survived its first car wash! I would definitely recommend this mod, cheap, easy, subtle, and looks stock.

Some people like to paint the rotor hat, as well. If you decide to do that, make sure you don't paint the wheel mating surface. No matter how hard you try, your paint will not be the same thickness and this will cause an imbalance that can cause vibrations.
