Dude, the rotors looks hella nice!

There's a mini-install meet over at dozer's house at 9:00am.

We can install your new rotors over there too.

Less Air at higher alttitude = Your lungs work harder, thats why when I used to play soccer I would Run/Climb mountains... works out the lungs!

You gotta take a look at Zumn's rotors though, they're dead sexy.

I think the whole process took us about 4 hours. The reason why it took so long was because we also painted his heat shield and calipers. We had to wait till they were dry before actually working on them.
