Are these the White ones? I got some from Amazon and they are a bluish color. Thank you

I guess they're white, but definitely have a blue hue to them

Today I resurfaced the rotors. They were not bent but the surface was rough.

ooh, that's interesting!
Was this DIY? And why resurface and not just replace?

DIY, I do all the maintenance/work on my cars.
They are almost brand new but because I rarely use classic brakes the rotors tend to get marks on them and they make slight noise when hard braking. The machine took 0.1 mm of rotor material.

Finished a 2200 mile road trip yesterday. Installed 1 of 4 soft close doors today. Going to get another one done now, but the heat is killing me.

Is it a complete door replacement or an add-on kit?

Add on. Like 75$ each door. Working well so far. Good thing is that it's mechanical open so if battery does it will still function as a mechanical latch.

I am interested in the soft close actuators. Can you provide me with the link?

I got these for a bit under $300 after coupon. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKAjN7S

I have now finished 3 of the 4, and although they all work well, the tolerance on the front bulges out the plastic casing a bit. So you could try a different vendor as these arent 100% within tolerance. But nobody will ever see it so I guess it doesn't matter much

Thank you for the link. Is it plug-and-play or there is a lot of wiring and cutting and soldering?

T tap for power to motor, which would mean two wires and technically two cuts for live/ground.

Fitment no, sound yes.
Just finished all 4. The two fronts are great. The two backs are different from one another so I will take them apart and redo them. Uncertain what the cause is. They all function fine though

It seams too noisy for my taste. I just put 2 fronts in Cart.

Regarding the fitment, I suppose the door is all over the place, right?

I'm not sure what you mean by fitment. Front and back latches are identical btw. But there is a right and left.
