I just received mine from VETTESHOPPE in Spiral Grey. Have ordered Letters for them from SS Inserts, and intend to pick up the Sillouette inserts for them next weekend at Carlisle to finish them off.

You're actually the first person I've heard of having a heat problem with painted fuel rail covers. I wonder if it might have been due to prep before paint? No answer for that one. All I know is you have some beautiful FRCs. I'm guessing you could get at least $150-200 for them from one of the many MSG owners here.

I think I was missing something called flex agent? I wanna see pix of the ones you get back! They do look great, but need light to really set them off! Let me know how they come out!

Oh man! I am soooo jealous! When I spoke to JackJ, he told me there were going to be around 2700 vendors there! Can someone let me about Carvaggio and rotor specials? LOL. I'll "trust" you with my CC number!?

Can't talk about Caravaggio as of right now, although I really like some of their stuff, but when it comes to rotors, it's tuff to beat the deal offered by Sportbrake. Last I heard $279 shipped for a full set of slotted and cross-drilled zinc-washed rotors. They look on mine!!

I wish I already had my C6 rims. I'm waiting to go 18/19 on my car, and I want to go +1 on the rotors. That deal sounds awesome, but if I get the new ones now, I'll just have to get the bigger ones when I get the new wheels. Man! I swear I do more shopping here than my ex-girlfriend at the mall with my card!
