actually do a nice scrubbing of the rotor center with steel wool, clean with brake cleaner...then apply a high temp paint...seals them really nicely...just be carefull that you do not get paint on the rotor surface where the pad applies...it will destroy the pad...no good

I painted mine with the calipers on...just removed the tire. I'm sure you can do a better job by taking the calipers off but mine turned out fine.

Been looking alot at rims, I was thinking of getting ADR Cyphers in Gunmetal. But now I'm thinking of getting an exhaust or getting drilled/slotted rotors.

Rx hawk, that looks great and without the aftermarket wheels. I must say that if I'd known about the light grey totone seat option ,I would never jumped on the rednblack seat combination......nice photos.
