Brakemotive Slotted/Drilled Rotors and pads

Nice update, man. How do you like these wheels compared to the Works? Definitely a big change!

. I did manage to curb one of them literally a minute after getting them mounted
They have been pretty decent thus far. Did almost 500 miles of driving this wknd and I must say the TL never fails to impress. Lots of compliments and one guy even asked if the car was new (2012). His jaw dropped when I told him it was an 04. I have the Works up for sale mainly becuase I need space in my apt but if I still have them when I get the keys to my new home then I will just keep them.

Always loved the look of the 530's 
Now I wanna do the RDX caliper cover mod too
let's see how much they cost at the dealers since we're going to pick up my bro's TL on Wednesday

My gawd! Those look every bit of good of some other HI~END priced wheel. IMO, I see it the same. I could care less of the brand as long as it have the amazing WOW factor. And u nailed it bro! ...
This is the 2x now u have me thinking of some XXR's for my whip!
And LOVE how the stock center cap fits right in
One question, why did u decide to go with the universal/2 bolt pattern drilled set rather then a single drilled 5x114?

As per Mr. Bell's request
So after rolling around different parts of TX this wknd, I realized a number of cars have classic plates and I was thinking there must be a new standard plate design since majority of the cars I saw with the classic plates didnt strike me as cars that would have a custom plate. I did little research at work this morning and they are doing away with the colored plates after 3 years(shows how much they suck) and bringing back the classic design from the 60's. I sure did walk over to the tax office on my lunch break and got me a new set.
Old plates
New plates
My cf plate frame hides "The Lone Star State" text at the bottom
