thank you man.. I love the look and espacially for the money.. can't beat it.
I agree.. all the little mods I did made a huge difference on the stock look, I think the l-tuned grill was the best mod, look change wise, then Tein CS's, then Roof Spoiler, then the brakes and calipers.. can someone tell me where I can buy chrome wheel caps?!
thanks man..the spoiler is great.. lol. hey man, where can I get exhaust tips magnoflow or Borla cheap?!
I bought mine on ebay as an overstock item, the breaks stop better then OEM and do not overheat as much, i think. I bought them more for the look..
Well little mods like that make a huge difference in appearance.. Congrats on all the work. I think the brembos are a great upgrade from stock with the painted calipers.. Car looks good...
The car looks great.. Very clean I have the same rotors, and lol.. roof spoiler. I started a Mac blick roofspoiler frenzy lol
What's the advantage of having rotors drilled from iRotors rather than just buying them drilled from Brembo?
Where did you get the roof spoiler?

Not saying this is the case here, maybe you bought from a reputable dealer, I don't know I'm just putting it out as a warning for others before they run on ebay and buy a set, becareful and make sure you are buying authentic Brembo.

There actually isn't an advantage, upon modifying your Brembo rotors in anyway you completely void the Brembo warranty. The reason people do this though is because Brembo does NOT offer their rotors in slotted and drilled, they only offer them in slotted OR drilled. Also, the majority of Brembo rotors sold on ebay are fake knock-offs made in Taiwan that are crap quality and can't be compared to the best brake company in the world (Brembo). I get people calling us when their "Brembo" rotors break and the dealer they purchased them through wasn't authorized, if they're a customer I go out of my way to talk to Brembo RT to get a warranty claim put through and a large majority of the time when Brembo gets the product they call back and say "these aren't even our rotors...."

WINGO, much props again, nice silver GS. I noticed you have those black painted calipers. Mine are stock and look terrible. To a certain extent it does take away from the look of my rims. Have you thought of any other colors besides black. How 'bout silver? Or is silver too much being that your ride is already silver.

Thanks Kevin for putting my rotors down.. lol.. I am kidding.. But you are correct.. I bought mine from iRotors. Many people here bought them there and are happy and that is why I bought them there also.. I called them and they told me that they buy blank Brembo rotors and slot/drill them themselves.. they are not authentic Brembo in anyway. Brembo only sells one or the other kind not both and they cost 2x more then mine. I bought mine for the look mostly and to save money, plus iRotors had a good reputation.. Thats my 2 cents..
