hey Dave,

In that pic... I notice that your slots on the rotors seem to be going in the wrong direction..or do different rotors go different ways? My brembo's face forware ...ie car direction---> slct direction ///

Classic cheeseball.

Are you getting some sort of Aero kit?

Dude believe it or not I used VHT engine paint, it's a metallic, color is called Gold Flake, I love it! Also the guy I bought the calipers from had them sandblasted, so that may also affect the finish
