RotorPros.com I just polished the hell out of the hats today because they formed some kind of weird milky, spotty, splotchy, something or other..stain. VERY hard to get at with the wheels on. I should have done it with the wheels off, but I had my hands full painting the calipers, cleaning the wheel wells and polishing the insides of the wheels.

just got my red calipers from MA and my rotors from rotorpros are due Tuesday and will be installed Wed. I got the rotors with the red hats already painted and they will look great on my spiral gray/torch red '04 DD.

The calipers look great. I just painted my calipers this week on my pewter vette. I chose black, but red looks great as well.
