As posted in another thread a couple days ago, I'm going to be getting all 4 new rotors soon. I'm contemplating going with black --for the first time ever in my life on any car-- instead of silver, but,...I dunno. Wondering if anyone here happens to have black rotors on stock Type-S wheels so I can get a looksee. If anyone happens to have this particular combination would you mind posting a pic or 3? My car is silver, wheels are the later (08, I think) slightly darker factory finish and I'm afraid I may be going overboard Darth Vader with black rotors too. But. Maybe not.

Much appreciated if such a person or persons on here exists.

thx

Ummm, you do realize once you start driving the car all of the black in the "swept area" will be worn off by the brake pads; don't you? In the end you will have rotors which look like the Centric rotors I have on my TL which came with black on the hats and the edge/vent areas.

Thanks for the post & yes, I now know it. The thought just hadn't occurred to me as I really hadn't gone that deep in thinking it over. Of course you're right. thx

If you want more "black" accents grab a few cans of high temp black engine/chassis paint and repaint the backing plate for the rotor, calipers, and any rusty bits after a cleaning. You'd be surprised how much of a difference it can make.
