im picking up the matched color for himehs parts tmrw.. Probly will spray tmrw.

I couldnt pick up the hood, it wont fit in my dads matrix. hm..im thinking ill save the left over paint and spray it at your house sometime, or if ucould drive ur car down here with the hood on, or if you could drop it off...but i dont want you to waste ur gas...but i guess il go ahead and spray the parts tmrw.. the two rotors i picked up turned out unuseable on one rotor the side seals jambed into the groove and the other rotor the corner seal groove is bent on one.. damn... i need to find a good pair... But at least I got the ecu and wiring harness and efan..
Will pick up the paint tmrw, and spray

yeah be very careful when you buy rotors. you have to have them make sure all the grooves fit the sealsn springs smoothly. Check the apex seal grooves, make sure nothing is bent or chipped, then check the side seal grooves and corner seal grooves..ihave like 6 rotors they all look like clean useable rotors, but lil things like a bent corner seal slot or bent apex seal slot messes up the whole rotor..
I found another pair for $100 from someone on the forum... tired of hunting for S5 T2 ROTOR THAT MATCHES my weight stamp letter...il just get the pair of s4 t2....or w/e comes my way lol...its guna be asuper hybrid motor... s4/s5/s6
s4 t2 housings, FD CORNER SEALS and springs, and 2 piece apex seals and springs, s5 t2 ecu frankenstein.....
