Hey Dennis or anyone else, how long have you had those rotors? I am skeptical about the quality of those chinese made rotors from brakemotive (no offense my asian buddies), but I also dont want to spend 450 from excelerate; however the quality is much better.

Awesome man. I'm not taking it until it is how I brought it in. Also I noticed the dash is dark grey and not black.

They are worth it IMO. I've had them for a while now and no issues. I did notice yesterday that my car stops better than the 4G

I think the vents would look good but honestly they have to contrast well with the lining of our hoods.

Depends on the type of vinyl. Some are more flexible than others. Ans which part of the grill? The whole thing or just the bar?

have you guys had positive/negative experiences with aftermarket amplifiers? Turns out that the amp is the culprit in my sound issue and the oem one is $1300...

Might as well go aftermarket. You can get a good one for half the price of OEM one.
