Default Just received my Monster Stage 2... I have a quick question?

So I just received my Monster Stage 2 clutch kit for my 05 V today, & I have 1 question. Why does the clutch disc pictured on their site look like a completely different material than the disk I received? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but does it come packaged with some sort of protective cardboard-like material meshed to the disc surface that burns off once driven, because it looks like its part of the disc itself?

Thanks in advance for answering my noob-like question LOL...


The pic from their site...


The disc I received...

The top looks like an organic disk and the lower looks like a Kevlar disk. Might call and ask.

I didn't look closely at it yet because I saw the disc & was surprised with how different it looked from the actual photo on their site. I will definitely take a closer look at it in a minute, or when the old stuff comes out

LOL... I was thinking the same thing. I read through the instructions though, & nowhere does it mention about this?
