the colored ones fade, i think those would look awesome, after i get some new rims, can you tell that you stop better or anything?

They look nice just wondering how well they'll hold up and if they really do resist corrosion. Let us know.

Thank you, but I am what they call a Garrison soldier. My job series RARELY deploys. I am in the USA right now. Just had an accident at work. I took a picture of myself with the cell phone before I went into the ER.

They look awesome! My rotors just turned a year old so drilled & slotted rotors are kinda lower on the list at the moment but I can't wait to get some! I'm gonna paint the base of mine black like I did with the ones I have now. Now that i think about it, I gotta redo them with glossier black paint soon lol

Looks good...
Just a quick note regarding Slotted/Drilled Rotors be careful when purchasing cheaper (less expensive ones) I know a few people who have, and they cracked a few times on them...
The idea is that since they are drilled/slotted there is less material and as such will break under pressure, especially if they are made from cheaper material...
I use to get powerslot (only slotted not drilled) and they were good, when I decided to make the jump to slotted/drilled I went with Baer rotors....pricey but they stop the car much better and I have no fears of them failing.
Eventually I plan on replacing the complete system with baer or wilwood...
Also quick tip when washing the car try not doing it after a long drive, if you do try not aiming the hose directly at the brake rotors and such...if you do the cold water on the hot brakes creates smoke...a cool effect, but you are warping the rotors which will cause the steering wheel to shake when braking...and the need for new rotors...
