Also, did Pettit have Cross-Drilled Rotors in stock when you made the inquiry? (It's a rhetorical question)

Under normal abuse the CD sould be fine, they just won't last as long as the slotted rotors.
Pettit had both styles in stock.

Am I the only person who thinks slotted rotors look cooler than cross drilled?...

I Just had them installed this afternoon. I really like the look. They were Zinc coated for rust prevention so they're sportin a nice shiny look all the way down to the center cap. Another plus to having these Rotors installed is that the new Rotors/Pads don't make unusual noises my old parts did while braking

Here's a photo of the Front Pass Rotor....
