Car looks great!
I'm a big fan of the MS wing with the Appearance Pkg. I think if you add the front splash guard, it'll round out the look quite nicely

Oil Injection
slotted AND drilled rotor.........big no no......
drilled rotors allow the air to move thru the rotor cooling the rotor down......
slotted rotors allow the hot gasses/debris to get out from under the break pad, as well as 'scouring' the crap off the pad....this actualy forces the break pad to 'bite in' harder and produces MORE heat.
When you have a slotted and drilled rotor its trying to heat up and cool down at the same time, that leads to stress fractures, and possible falure of the rotor.
Think of it like when you pull a glass out of the freezer and pour bolling water in it.....
Now for a car using them on the street, its not gonna make a difference really, but if your out on the track, it can become something to worry about, esp if they are a cheaper 1 peice rotor, made of lower grade steel/iron....
but the car looks good..
now disregard that if the rotors are 'dimpled', that doesnt really do anything.

The holes are all the way through, and the slots are just notched in there, they are not all the way through. Im not planing on Auto crossing the car, but if I do i'll listen to your advice.
