Personally I think these would look great with your car:

drilled are for looks. Use slotted if you actually want a slight benefit from anything. Drilled are more prone to warping and cracking

When you swapped those headlights I bet the car felt like a brand new car. It looks great.

@Whitefox: So when Mercedes does the drilled rotors, it's just looks right?

So you just put headlights and foglights on? Slight progress pic i guess... But progress nonetheless.

I was expecting to be blown away lol

Looks good

Too lazy to retype everything or look for older posts, but basically if you are wanting to upgrade brakes, larger diameter brakes are the best bang for your buck. If you wanna have the looks, pay more and may/may not have better stopping ability go for slotted. If you wanna pay more and have a rotor that is most likely going to crack after awhile and is not going to help you stop any better then go for the drilled rotors.

If you're comparing the more expensive sports cars to slotted/drilled rotors for mustangs you need to consider that the rotors made for those cars are cast that way and often times are made of different material/alloys. All rotors (that I've seen) that are sold for the mustang that are drilled, started their life as blanks that have had holes drilled into them. What happens when you drill a ton of holes into a solid object? It's not going to get any stronger that's for sure.

LOL sorry for your expectations. I have the balck pony and red painted calipers but you can't see because the picture is too small. I didn't know how to make it bigger. Oh also the tinted window. Was going to apply new paint but decided on getting GT4 rims.
