The OE rotors rust really easy and all the dust I was experiencing was coming from the vanes.
There are two meets this weekend. Saturday is a rotary meet at Forged Performance. It was a great meet last year. I am busy Saturday so not going. Sunday there is a meet I'm thinking about going. Here is the thread. Interested?

^^^^ do you even have to ask, of course I'm interested, lol. However, either Sat. or Sun. I have to replace the water pump on my mother's car. So, as soon as I'm done with that I can join you guys.
You think you could make it on Sun.?

any of you guys know where I could buy a hood like this, either/or, the key thing is that it doesn't have to be Carbon Fiber as I'm going to color match it with my car? CF is too damn expansive, plus I don't like to have different color body parts on my car...

I tried searching everywhere, I called bunch of places... they only have fiberglass in different styles, but this is what I like. YOu might have a better luck though, thanks in advance!

Corksport has an AutoExe hood but it is going to be pricey. Most the FRP hoods I know are going to come from Japan. But I asked in a thread so let's see if anyone knows anything.
Here are some pics of a WB 8 with a painted hood to make you drool

I will let you know if I hear back from anyone.

Wow, that is a great looking hood... what's the weight like? Seems like a very worthwhile investment for a turbo'ed car if it's not overly heavy.
Side note: Today's weather is AWESOME. I'm going to try really hard to work the rest of the day from outside on a laptop...

I asked corksport about the autoexe hood about a year ago. I cried myself to sleep and masturbated with my tears at the price of that hood....but I still want it.

Settled into my new "home" for 3 weeks...damn tents + triple digit temps = a lot of pissed soldiers. Oh and my units reputation has once again gotten the best of us. We are banned from like 5 buildings here because they are afraid that the "infantry guys will destroy it all"....God I hate this place. Now I need to spend $100 on internet for the next 3 weeks.
