thanks for the input, there are the rotors i was thinking of getting, i thought these would be just a remove and replace without getting the BBK:

front

rear



i might get the emblemless grill if i can get a black chrome one. i think 180customs is looking into it.

i hate random CF pieces on the car. i could have got the diffuser in CF, but i got the FG and got it painted my color, which was STILL cheaper than CF.

There is a CF hood that just came our for our cars that i might consider.

CF or not is only one story. But having slotted drilled rotors, you NEED to have a big brake kit. it would just look awkward without it.

180customs does have emblemless grills available already. PM alex on g35nyc.com if that's what your looking for.

im not a big fan of fiberglass either as 1 scrape will destroy the whole piece. otherwise i would've had a full body kit by now lol..

I think you've lost your mind. I have drilled rotors on my stock calipers as do a lot of members here and they look just fine. I did paint my calipers silver.

Whats the point of having drilled / slotted rotors? To have the "slotted" sections as ditches to get dirt/heat/water off. In the end, it's to help with stopping efficiently and consistently.

Whats the point of having a BBK? To stop efficiently and consistently. They're made to perform well under high extreme temps, and will reduce brake fade.

Conclusion: Simply by having drilled rotors or slotted or whatever but having stock calipers is fine, or have it "look fine". I could have a BBK with stock rotors, stock rotors stock calipers, or in this case, stock calipers with slotted drilled rotors. Hell, sure, it'll look fine when it comes to looks.

When speaking in terms of performance, hopefully which is the reason why many get it, it is pointless to get slotted drilled rotors without the BBK because, well first off, it has nothing to do with stopping distance. You're better off just keeping your stock calipers and stock rotors if such is the case. You get it so that you can stop consistently and effectively, thus the two are a package.

In regards to looks, sure why not, it looks OK i guess. But when a person looks at it with a performance perspective, in regards to stopping consistently and effectively, it makes no sense. And if the person is looking at it from a stopping distance perspective, the drilled rotors is still useless.

It's your car, everyone's entitled to their own opinions

I just dont see the point in using the caliper covers and just think it looks out of place with small rotors. Even with a cross-drilled rotor its still a small 12.5" rotor.
