Default PICS!!! Nickel/Zinc Plated DuraStop Rotors and Caliper Brackets

Sorry about the picture Quality but you get the gist... I had my rusty GM rotors cleaned and plated locally. I decided to have the Caliper Brackets done also.
What do you think?

I went Gator Plating in Coral Springs, Florida. They actually had done this before. 954-752-2768 Ask for Pete. You can even ship them to these guys.

They do all the plating for Steeda. I saw a bunch of Cam Gears getting done.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the rough cost?

Cost was $300 cause they had to remove the Damn rust from the Rotors.
But if they were new it would have been about $200 for Rotors and Caliper brackets

Are those GM enhanced rotors...??? Or did you drill and slot them also?
