Default Question on rotor direction

I'm installing new iRotors tomorrow that are slotted. My question is which direction do the slots go on the car? I mean this as coming from the hub to the outside of the rotor. That direction for the slots. Do the fronts point towards the rear of the car and the backs point towards the front? Thanks.

Yeah I was looking at those pictures to, I just couldn't be sure which wheel I was looking at. I also just noticed that the individual rotor boxes are labelled with the part numbers, with an R and L designation for which side. That kinda cleared up the confusion.

the slot directions don't make any difference whatsoever... you have to look at the vanes for that info.
If the vanes are straight, it doesn't matter... if you have curved-vaned rotors, make sure they are going in the proper direction.
