Gold Rotors on red FD?
Did a search and nothing came up. I am deciding on either silver or gold drilled and slotted rotors for my vr fd. Just curious if anyone has them? I thought the red and gold might lookg good together!

I've definitely never seen gold brake rotors on anything. Please show me.

I was wondering about that a little while ago when I was looking for brakes as well. I've seen them over a black car and that looked great, I am still waiting to see them with red.

i think he means cadmium plated rotors, those tend to look gold.

I emailed them about the black rotors, and yes it does wear off. But they said the black would stay in the slots? Shiet I'd get some black (or gold) caliper paint and fill in the slots myself.
