Default Wondering what everyone thinks...

Here's a shoot of my car after a nice long wax with newly painted calipers and drilled and slotted rotors (sorry for the crappy pictures). Also I recently purchased and installed "Trans Am" and "WS6" decals to go on my calipers and I didn't know how the WS6 was gonna look...Too much?? So I through them on because I figured I could always take them off. So I would like your opinion on how they look and how my car looks in general (good or bad...Oh and I know I need a drop, I'm workin' on it). Thanks for all of the comments in advance and sorry for the huge pictures I'm not very good at this.

I like the TransAm decal but the WS6 one makes it look cluttered.

Looks good. Make sure to clear the brakes, and if you didn't and have to do them again, Take a dremel to the caliper to smooth it out.

How much of a pain is it to keep clean? I want to do the same setup for awhile, but I hear horror stories on cleaning and upkeep. Since I am still new to the idea of slotted rotors, they can't be machined smooth if your brakes start digging in, can they?
