Looks like a really thorough job, and I can appreciate that a lot. Just for saving future headaches, I would lose the drilled/slotted rotors and just use OEM blanks though.

Thanks man. Its just takes time and effort dont get in a rush just make sure you pay attention to detail and your hatch will become a master piece.
