Quick pic of the passenger rear. The sprinkle slot pattern is clearly visible behind the Vossens, but honestly the rotor bolts just aren't that obvious. In other words, it's not an immediate thing to realize these are two-piece rotors. Also, since the surface area in the rears is more narrow than the front, the slot pattern is tighter in the rear, and more appealing than the front. I never noticed that until just now.

Sorry to hear that you don't notice much difference in terms of acceleration or handling due to the weight loss, but I kind of expected that. I barely noticed any difference at all in acceleration from the weight loss and I have a pretty in-tune "butt dyno." Maybe it is just because I am overtired from going back to work this week and it has been chaos, or maybe that picture is just too close up, but you have a lot going on there with the lines of the rotors and wheels going every which way. It just seems overly busy to me. Do you have any pics from further back? Maybe that would do it. At least the 2pc. part looks cool. Also, I am jealous that you have your summer tires on. My new tires should be here any day and I am anxious to test them out.

It was just first impressions from one spirited romp around the area, and that itself is after 5 months of snow tires on a car barely driven. I expect my opinion to improve, however I no longer expect much.

No worries. I was drawn to the sprinkle slot pattern specifically because it doesn't conflict with the directional nature of these 10-spokes. And honestly, I couldn't be happier with how they look, particularly the rears. I absolutely love the pattern. Yes, it's busy, but in a good way, IMO.
We talking like GTR Burnt orange/copper or like a full on metallic orange.
I think full on metallic orange. The GTR orange/copper looks more gold to me than orange. And I think I want orange.
I had my first car painted orange when I was 18. Actually, it was a GM color called Flame Red, in the mid-70's Vette. I don't think it was metallic, so that color, with some added flake.
Dude, I barely know what I'm talking about, and it may never happen anyway.

Looks Good Roch!
I finally got mine on, Flushed and bled. Driving it very casually for 500.
I'm loving the look. I've wanted 2P rotors forever.
I drove the car around this morning... familiar roads, highway on ramps and off ramps, some hard launches, while still being gentle on the brakes (because break-in period.) Honestly, I can't say that I can tell there's anything different with the car. Handling remains what it was (which is pretty amazing). Acceleration seems unchanged. Braking is really, really good, but like I said, gentle braking.
It's a little anti-climatic.
FWIW I just finished installing mine with the steel lines and I used Motul 5.1
Same pads as you're using too.
I have nothing to report on yet. I basically drove it 3 times. At the moment I don't notice any difference but I'm probably 12 miles into the break-in.
