Rust Never Sleeps

(Sung to the tune of "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice)

Yo, VTEC, lets kick it,
Rice Rice Baby, Rice Rice Baby...
Alright stop - collaborate and listen,
Rice is back with a brand new invention.
Chopped springs, they hug tha road tightly,
6 inch exhaust tip flows really loud nightly.
Will it ever stop, yo,
I don't know,
hit my neon lights and I'll glow.
To tha extreme my car looks like a candle,
and tha paint job - it was done by a vandal.
Dance, I got a speaker that booms,
this aint a car, it's a mobile sound room.
Deadly,
listen to tha melody,
if it was louder yo, it'd be a felony.
Love it or leave it you can't gain way,
with my Type-R sticker I'll lose you any day.
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it, check out
my rims while my front drive revolves it,
Rice Rice Baby, Rice Rice Baby...
Now that my suspension is jumpin',
my bumber hits tha ground, but who cares I'm a thumpin.
Quick to tha point, to tha point no fakin',
cookin' mopeds like a pound of bacon.
Burning 'em, cause I'm quick and nimble,
you can't fade me and my VTEC symbol.
In your souped up GN or 5.0...
I'm on a roll,
I always ride solo.
Rollin', in my 2 point 0,
it runs low 18's, yo, that really ain't slow.
Tha girlies on stand by,
don't even want to say "Hi".
Did ya stop? No, I just flew by.
Kept on, pursuing to tha next block,
I bust a left and I'm headin' to tha next stop.
The block was dead, yo, so I continued to A-1-A,
Detroit Avenue!
Tha girls looked hot wearing less than bikinis, I
saw a few chumps drivin' stock Lamborghinis.
Jealous, cause I'm out drivin' mine,
ready to race 'cuz my Nittos lookin' fine.
If there was a problem, yo I'll solve it,
check out my rims while my front drive revolves it,
Rice Rice Baby, Rice Rice Baby...
Take heed, 'cause I'm a Honda poet,
Akimoto's on tha scene just in case ya didn't know it.
My exhaust tip, created all tha bass sound,
rumbles enough to put holes in tha ground.
'Cause my ride's style is so reeeeeeeeeeeeal, with
an exhaust tone that ya can feeeeeeeel.
4 foot spoiler, it's a helluva concept, my ride is
hype, and you wanna step
WITH THIS.
In my rearview you'll fade,
slice like a Ginsu -sounds like a Kitchen-Aid.
So fast, that all tha V8's say "damn", if rice was
a drug I'd sell it by tha gram.
Keep my composure when the front tire breaks loose,
magnetized by the kick of 30 horse juice.
If there was a problem, yo I'll solve it,
check out my rims while my front drive revolves it,
Rice Rice Baby, Rice Rice Baby...
Yo, we outta here...
E-Brake burnouts to your mother

There are several coated aftermarket rotors that will not rust in the non-swept area.

Those are a good choice if you can't stand the rust and the extra money isn't a problem.

Not really rice if that's the goal... at least not in my mind.

I don't care about the rust since there are lots of uncoated parts under there that rust.

My rotors are almost blue anyway... lol!:beer:

I like the looks of the Bear Decel Rotor. It will not rust and with a little work is easy to keep looking nice. It is strictly a cosmetic upgrade with no performance enhancement. The price is reasonable.

How much is "reasonable"?

I just want some OEM ones that wont rust. I know some 04 cobras have a coating on them that is gray in color where my 03 does not.... but ford wants 190 EACH for the rotors.... anywhere else to get the OEM ones cheaper?

$118 for factory rotors from buyfordracing and a $3 can of flat black spray paint seem to work well, and hold up to track heat. Not sure why rust is such a problem for some, but I do live in sunny Ca where it doesn't rain much...

Corona-Extra might I ask where you got your rotors? I did a quick search but the places that I found who sold Bear products only had the pricey 2-piece rotors.

jesus, have some of you people never heard of paint?

A $6 can of engine enamel and some masking tape and your rotors will be rust free.

No need to spend $650 just for some rust protection and pretty holes.

I got mine at Thunder Racing a little over a year ago..

Lethal Performance also sales them also.. however Thunder Racing has a slightly better bargain..
