Ah the bling factor.
 
Well in that case go for drilled and slotted. Slotted rotors provide zero extra braking when used in a non-race situation. For bling factor they are great for the street, but do not kid yourself into thinking they actually will help on the street.
 
As for wear, they will grind down your pads quicker and cannot be resurfaced, which are both downsides to using them on the street.

Thanks for the tip. You seem to know a bit...so as far as the bling factor goes, what would you recommend?
Also...I am looking for a billet grille for my 08, but no one seems to have one. I have checked all the most obvious places...any recommendations? I am looking for an upper and lower set like Trenz offers.
PS...I have an image of what I want, but I do not know how to post it here.
