OK then, 11:45a in the main parking area [near the BofA teller]. There's tons of room and you can walk to Taco Bell OR Togos.
rominl, "WOOOOOF"!!! [or some other flame thrower sound of your choice.]

Related question, however... for those folks who have painted your calipers, what did you do about the piece I have indicated in the picture below that always seems to rust? I don't know what that specific part is called (please tell me if you know).
Did you paint it? Sand or treat it? Can't tell by the other pics posted here what others have done.
Thanks in advance.

Sand those puppies down then paint them. When I had the OEM rotors I had mine sanded to remove the rust then painted a silver color. Then, I had the calipers painted black.

1) do you have to repaint the rotors after a while?
2) if i get those rotors from the brake groupbuy, do i still need to paint them?

If you get the rotors from the group buy, they will already be cadmium plated which protects you from rust. So NO, you won't need to paint the rotors unless you would like to go pink or sunthin.

redgs4, rominl, RMMGS4, Synergy - How long will you guys be there? Do you guys mind if I stopped by (in my 1st gen GS)? I'm only about 10 mins away. I would love to check out all your modded GS's.

Yeah LA is way too far. It's just a few of us getting together for lunch. We all work within a five mile radius so it just seems to work out now and then. Anyone is more than welcome to join us, we will probably be there till about 1 - 1:30.
See ya!
