PIC REQUEST: OEM 19" rims & cross-drilled or slotted rotors

For economic reasons, I am thinking about just swapping out my stock rotors with cross-drilled or slotted or crossed-drilled & slotted rotors. I don't suspect gaining much stopping power from it, however I wanted to see how it looks with the stock 19" rims.

Has anyone out there done this? Can you post pics please?

Thx!

You're right, you're not really gaining stopping power, i'm assuming you're going mostly for the look? The rotor diameter will still stay the same so you won't be filling any wheel gap. I have seen someone do it out of san diego painted the stock calipers blue i think and switched the rotors to drilled ones. Looked nice since his car was caribbean blue. Can't remember his user ID.

All your really doing is creating air pockets in the rotor which enable it to stay cooler and cool more quickly.
