You local?

In Victoria, but always tracking at the Ridge. Mine comes in Oct so maybe a little late for this season( if they ever open the border) Good Luck with your touring allocation.

Hyde's Serum Rustopper works great.

Does anyone know how long that car may be in Chicago? I was considering a similar spec and would love to see it in person before my allocation slot comes up. I would think it can only help make the decision easier either way and would make the 3 hr drive up to check it out if it was actually possible to see it.

Shark Blue looks great, especially in low light levels. Many of the YouTube vids appear to have the brightness blown out making it look powder blue online.

You for real? The surface rust on rotors goes away just by driving around the block.

The new rotors have recessed dimples. The rust in the recess does not have contact with the brake pad. So the rust will not wear off by just driving around the block.

Should be similar to slotted rotors (never recall rust being unsightly on those, once driven hard).

You'll never notice because a layer of brake dust will cover those holes immediately.
