Aesthetics of 2 different types of rotors

Just wondering have different style of rotors on the front and rear, eyesore or perfectly fine?
Just trying to make a final decision on something

the 4G's have eye sores for brake calipers.... i think aesthetics are out the window!!!

p.s. it doesnt really matter, as I have slotted up front but blanks in the rear... you cannot even perceive the difference, because my rear rotors are a smaller diameter than the fronts.

I did paint my rear calipers black to match my Brembo's up front. NOW THAT PLAYED A BIG PART IN AESTHETICS

We have a C350 with Drilled Rotors in Front and blanks in the Rear, to me it looks odd the further you step away from the car. Whichever way you go, as others have mentioned ,painting the Calipers will make a big difference

There won't be a noticeable difference between a slotted or drilled/slotted in the front, and a blank in the rear (performance wise), and since the fronts do most of the work anyway so leaving the rears blank could be a good way to save a couple dollars.

Looks are a different story, I'd say that depends how you look at your car and how you feel about little differences like that.

We have Acurazine Brake Packages available, you can find them on our site here: Acurazine Brake Packages ACURA - Excelerate's Honda & Acura Store - Japanese Performance Specialist

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions or want help getting setup!

I think that has to do with MB's choice for wheels. the TL's wheels arent that "open"
