Installed my drilled and slotted rotors, plus my hurst shifter

So what do you guys think, got the drilled and slotted rotors plus the new hurst shifter installed on my Cobalt today. Braking feels great, and I think it looks great. Here are some pics of the rotors and the new hurst shifter.

You can never have enough tire shine!!! I think the chrome makes it stand out more.

Thanks for the comments. The Hurst shifter was the biggest pain in the but though, just when I had everything together, I realized that I missed a piece, so I had to take the retainer ring out, and guess what, it popped off, hit my dash and disappeared!! I have no clue where it went, so I had to run to Lowes and luckily I found the same size retainer ring, bought four, just to be sure that I would have enough, and in case I lost another one. Any ways, got it all together. Really though, installation was not all that bad.

I bought this rotor set from CrateEngineDepot, yeah they are brand new, and have only driven the car twice since I installed them. Click the link to go directly to the CrateEngineDepots site and see the set.

They feel great, I tested them by getting on the highway, the car had more stopping power. Felt much better, then stock.

Adjusting the Hurst is easy, however keep in mind that the screw that goes into the pivot ball can be stripped quite easily. It has an allen tip, and if you make it tight and don't realize it, you can easily strip it. I know, cause I did, but it's all good, I was able to put it into the position I needed and put some locktite on it, and it's goood!
