i just think that red rotors take away from the cleaness of a car unless it comes on a stock car such as a porsche

thanks for the replies i think i will go with either flat or gloss black. i ordered 4 sets of lenses from redlinezone.com a month ago and they sent 2 accord lenses and wont answer emails. i will most likely have to take them as a loss and buy lenses again.
