General assumption since, well look at your engine cover. And you also polished the exterior of your IM. Most that are into performance wouldn’t give a crap about the exterior, but more, would have polished the interior. But yes, it’s apparent that you like both performance and looks.

I only like performance. I don’t even have an engine cover on my car. Whereas your engine bay is a little more bling than most people on here.

Function over form.

and if you're talking about the "holes" at the end of the barrel, those are to reduce the amount of muzzle flash and the weapons report....

Sorry to deviate from the original subject...

Those are idiots telling you that bro. They have little to no effect on brake pad life.

Well darn if I don't stand corrected. However in my "personal" real world experience, I have never noticed an excessive pad wear. But man, go with what you feel comfortable with. Personally, I could care less about the goods and bads, I just went with these for looks. Get yourself a good pair of ceramic brake pads and I doubt you'll ever have any troubles, and you'll be glad that the brake dust is about 90% less than what it used to be, IMHO of course.

I actually agree with you and I REALLY wanted Brembo's in Dimpled/Slotted but they only make them for the 2004K max in blanks.

Regardless of what is said, I enjoy the looks of the dimpled slotted. I might end up with the RTPs. I just really respect the Brembo quality.

OK I'll give you that one, on a side note, when I polished my IM both the interior and exterior were polished...

And I'm only messing with Josh, he has gobs of autocross experience and a great all around dude when I don't have to smack him around...

I love Josh like that as well, love hate type of shat (IBhemightbanmeforevadingsaidishtalking) , I know you're local to him as well. But, IMO, you should have chopped the interior region of your IM before you polished the inside/outside if it, mmmmmmmmmmmkae?
