Default Good looking brake rotors

Hi,
Does anyone know or recommend where I can get some great looking drilled/slotted rotors for my Non Z06 04.
Not too expensive. More for just for a dressed up look.
Pics would be great if possible.

I have the same GM cross drilled /slotted on the wifes 98 Club. Nice rotors, I got them from a fellow Club member.
But I have used Rotor Pros (E-Bay) a few times for Mid Years and they have a Great Product. Cross Drilled/Slotted and Zinc coated for a very Good price. Check them out.

Those look clean, do you really drive your Vettte Kidding aside those are the rotors I used prior to upgrading to C6Z ones and they did make a few legal stops from 180+ at the Texas Mile

$250 for the rotors and brake. These are the silver zink. Have the same set up on the wifes 01 for about 2 years now and they still look as good as mine here......

I put Baer Eradispeeds on mine (one piece) - not the cheapest but definitely a nice set of rotors to go with.

Nice Steve....yes I drive it...but that PIC was taken when they were first put on. However, I must say, they still look great today - but I've heard from some that say the will rust over time.

I installed Baer EradiSpeed rotors (14" rear) on my '01 ZO6 and think they are the best appearance mod and they work great, lighter as well. No rust on mine but I rarely drive in wet weather although I have on several occasions. The 14" rears really look great! I'll post pics as soon as my new IForged wheels arrive in a few weeks and you will see what I mean!

I wouldn't recommend these rotors. I put 4 on my S2000 and they started rusting immediately. Needless to say I am mad, but then again I got what I paid for, cheap rotors.
