Default Anyone have pics of Brembo slotted on GS?

I was wondering if anyone on the forum has pics of slotted brembos on the GS400? I just want to make sure that I installed mine correctly. Per the instructions the "blades/slots" should be chopping and not pushing towards the front of the car.

ie...

car direction -------> slot direction / / /

Just look at the internal vanes. Make sure they are flowing from the center to the edge front to back. Meaning

car direction -->
Vanes \\\


The external slots direction is somewhat cosmetic as different manufacturers do it differently.

crap, i'm so confused!! I was understanding it the opposite of the quote above.
the "chopping" reference in the other post made sense to me, but I have never seen a drilled rotor up close. I really want to get some Brembo drilled soon!

Chopping?

As for the vanes, these can only be seen on the edges if you are looking down the edge. I am not talking about the visible slots and or c/d holes on the flat surface of the rotor.
