Default Tips for Eradispeeds?
OK Todd (& anyone else), I plan to clear-coat the outside edges, and paint the "hat" on the rear rotors. Anything else I need to prep before I install them to keep them looking good & lasting a long time?

Maybe you should let me "polish" those with some special brake pads I have ? I think one 20 minute lapping session should do it lol !

Hey now that's what I do!! Then in the winter I move them inside for beverage coasters on the coffee table, lol.

But Mark you may want to polish the ends before you clear them.

It has nothing to do with rusting by polishing the outer part, just to look nicer and only you would know.

Yeah I know, I was referring to the clear coat on the edge....

Even the wife said something about how much better it looks with the hat painted black like the fronts are. She wonders why they don't come that way. Women, what can I say? Except SHE'S RIGHT, they should be!!! Can't wait to see them on the car.

DO not worry I may get a nice set made for my car.

How would Blue anodized centers bolted to slotted and drilled rotors(Pimp factor) look through Black Z06 wheels

That would be awesome Ellis, but your car would not go any faster.
