Default Pics of Door Blades, Drilled Rotors, etc

Silver 4.2 Door blades.
two screws are still stuck on the passanger "Blade" but I left it, dont think the blades will slide out since that door is closed most of the time

Zimmerman Rotors at last

as you can see they have the same directional pattern.
I hope it does not mess anything up on my car.
I called www.sasponline.com and talked to some guy. He said they sold many of those and I'm the first to complain.
Should I be OK with the rotors????

Default Very nice. Clearing the amber inserts in your headlight housings would really complete the look.

Well done. Perhaps one of the nicest looking C5 3.0's that I've seen on this board.

Default Nice...

... The rotors will be just fine.

The only thing you need now are the little grey plastic caps that go over your lug bolts. Cost about $0.50 per at the dealer. Well that and brushed aluminum mirrors

Is that the stock exhaust for the 3.0?

Default You wont have any problems with the rotors...

..assuming the vanes inside them are non-directional. Most OEM rotors are non-direction anyhow, so it wont matter. And having the drilled holes being as they are wont hurt anything. Matter of fact I bet it'll have 99% the same 'cooling' as if they went the "correct" way. So you're prob all good.

BTW, car looks wicked nice... dig it!

Default I want to but still a little sceptic about it

I just dont want to mess things up and end up buying two new headlights.

Thanks for the compliment

Default Very satisfied with rotors

my steering wheel used to shake when braking, now all that is gone.
I was just worried because of the direction of the holes in the rotors.

Last thing to do this week is the road forced balance and I should be ok.

Sorry, but I really don't like the silver door blades.
