paul,
what'd you end up going with for tires? what rotors/pads are you going to run? fyi, i am *really* *really* impressed with the rotorpros + hawk hps... they bite really f*cking hard and the hawks dust MUCH less than stock. the rotorpros also look really good with the slots + black hub... and the hps pads have tinted the rotors a dark metallic color - looks really cool imo

I remember asking the guy about what I should get, and if I should get the protective coating. Oh well I guess, right?

But ya...sorry man..today is it...everyone over here is still in a frenzy about what they are going to be doing about ordering, wholesale, and crap like that..so who knows how long it will be before people with pending orders see their stuff

See this is where I messed up with my Rotorpros. I didn't get the protective coating and now the centers are rusted and ugly. Is there something I can do to help prevent that? It pisses me off when I see it.
I remember asking the guy about what I should get, and if I should get the protective coating. Oh well I guess, right?

you might need to blast them clean now, though.

alternatively, steel wire brush, high temp spray paint + painters tape.

Would I have to take the calipers off for this, I'm assuming so. Because if that's the case I'll just add that to the list of things to have the shop do when they have my car while I'm in FL. I just don't have time to do that if it takes more than a few hours in the next 2 weeks.
id probably opt to take them off personally but lots of people spray calipers or rotors while they are on the car...
