Default Wanna see something disgusting?

Well, as you can see, I haven't washed my car yet. To me, that's disgusting. I'm too busy doing these Photoshop requests Wisconsin weather is really somethin'. Anyways.....I did manage to put my new rotors on. Got them off of eBay for $195 shipped. Also got the zinc plating. I'm going to see how long it stands up. Here's my dirty pic along with some before and afters.

don't feel bad. my b4c looks like that too because it gets parked outside. i spend 3 hours cleaning it one day and the next day it's a mess... it needs painted NOW. that's a real good price on the rotors and they look good too.
on a side note... brian2006 do you remember what seller you bought those from?

That's because the rotors are warped due to the reduction in structural integrity by the drilled holes. Case in point, cross dilled are pretty much useless on your car. Slotted, yea, they do provide some function although very minimal, but at least they don't compromise the integrity of the rotor as much as drilled holes do.
