Drove it all over town and realized I have a few things I need to work on. I took a look at my rotors and saw my feont rotors look like they could use a replacement. I've had these for about 4-5 years I think. How do these look? Im not sure if I need to replace them. The last time I changed my brake fluid about 1 1/2 years ago, my mechanic buddy resurfaced them.

Looks like a couple significant grooves you have there...

Groovy... LoL! Replaced my header gaskets and high temp coated everything wrinkle black. It never ceases to amaze me how much of a PITA it is to remove them. My fingers hate me right now

You can turn them as long as you get a fresh surface over the whole rotor without going under the minimum thickness. Don't worry about getting all the grooves out, it will just make your rotors too thin. A couple grooves won't hurt you as long as the rest if the rotor is smooth. Back in the day they put a deep groove in the rotors to aid in cooling. It didn't help much but didn't hurt either, so a little groove isn't going to be a problem.

I would paint them black if it were mine... had a silver lower grill on my 06 and it never seemed finished until I painted it black.

It was a great day. Pulled the car out for the year. Did some maintenance; oil change, transmission fluid change, fuel filter, and spark plugs. I also installed some new goodies; JLT Series 3, a tune, and some other little pieces I'd collected over winter....

Thank god it's spring time!

Installed Bluetooth and wired it to a relay so it comes on/off with the ignition. Also tightened up the shifter and mount bolts on my Hurst billet shifter last weekend and applied blue loctite (which I should have done when I initially installed it years ago). Then I installed Dynomat on the transmission tunnel before putting the center console back in.


Fixed the sagging leather on my doors. While I had them off I slapped some Dynomat on the door, on the back of the panels, and inside the subwoofer enclosures. Upgraded to new Pioneer speakers, installed 2010+ subwoofer rings with the satin trim.

I have my lower cut out too and have thought doing a grill and painting it black to match the upper. What did you use to keep the grill attached?

I used automotive goop, lots of it, I bought it off that same website I got the mesh from.
