What do you yall think about this item -- I'm considering but I'm torn simply because its kinda "boy-racer" ... I've not seen painted drums I've liked, but it would be nice to have some sort of highlight behind the wheels ...

PLEEZE!! Don't do it! At the very least, paint 'em black or silver.Here's a fellow GV member's pic of his rear rotors:

They come black stock -- too boring ...Painting them silver makes them stand out too much -- HEY LOOK AT MY TOTALLY UNFANCY DRUMS!!!! And frankly -- silver drums would not look all that different from these ....Anyone ever seen templates to do a spiral design on the drum face?

Unrestricted budget ...But seriously, the disc conversion in the rear is WAY to involved IMHO with ABS and even a GT swap .... not worth the little to no improvement in braking with normal driving ...
