Looks nice! Aren't the slots in the rotors supposed to go the other way? You might have put them on the wrong side.

I hate to say this, but the rims really aren't doing it for me on the 2.4. Which makes me sad, because I love the MSR045's

Thanks for the comments. Rotors are definitely correct. Rims are 18x8, was not my 1st choice, but the ones I wanted were on long back order.

did you use a high temp orange or a high temp base with SBOM over top? Also where did you get the bracket at? Did you buy them from somewhere or have them chromed yourself?

Friend of mine owns a body shop. He uses a high temp primer with basecoat/clearcoat. I do this with all my rides. I had the brackets polished and chromed at a local plating shop.

They shouldn't. The vinyl decals are under the clearcoat. All three of my rides have this setup. My Camaro's looked like day one after 8 years, including autocrossing with very high temps.
