besides show or go, you forgot a third option- some are show AND go ;-)
which is why i said



ill actually be sending you parts soon, i won your raffle @ Znats. lol
awesome, what do you need done?

Actually, before I switched from just the front brembo upgrade to the stoptech trophy system, I actually melted the powdercoating on those two blackish wheels. If you look closely at them, the powdercoating actually wrinkled up. The problem with heat and powdercoat, on wheels or calipers, under heavy track usage is that the powdercoat softens when it gets hot and the brake dust embeds itself in the coating, so its a permanent stain, and why I recommend to any customers who track to just stick with satin black, because thats what they will eventually wind up with.
