I don't know what you guys are talking about but the rotors aren't handed so the slots face one way on one side of the car and the opposite way on the other.

Confirming that this is how it is on my 07 as well. The passenger side is like the picture of the red one above (which is also passenger side), and my driver side is like the blue one with the red caliper on the previous page (also, 3 months ago had new pads put on and calipers refinished by the dealer, so I doubt they'd let it drive off wrong).

Holy crap, you're right. I don't know why, but having the slots face different directions on each side just irks me lol
or maybe the vanes are directional, but the manufacturer cheap out and bought them all of the same side.
I know on my lotus the right side vanes are all wrong because from factory, Lotus just used the left side rotors on the right side -_-
that's awesome
I'll be checking my OEM V8V rotors tonight.
The VelocityAP/Wilwood rotors I have on my V8V have asymmetric slots but directional vanes, so they go on a specific side.
The EBC rotors I have on my 4Runner have directional slots but non-directional vanes, so they can go on either side.
You could've figured this out by looking at the parts List. There's no separate part number for left vs. right side.
I could get to the rotors themselves just as quickly as part numbers. Plus the part numbers don't say anything about the vanes. I wanted to look at the rotors specifically to see if AML pulled a Lotus and put the same directional rotor on both sides (per what mkzhang said).
I wanted to start off and first say thank you to all the contributors here on this forum. I've learned so much about the car from you, and really appreciate the advice and tips you've shared.
Here's my car's progress so far and my contribution to the pic thread:
Gloss black on interior sills and door handles
Black centers on aftermarket wheels that came with the car
I also had a full detail done and had the interior reconditioned.
Overall, the car is now in acceptable condition to me and my OCD is not firing off as much.
I love that color scheme, black/red! The gloss black in the interior sills and handle looks great.
Thanks! I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out.
I was originally considering the clear tails, v12 skirts, and new HRE wheels at first but it ended up being too much of a financial endeavor as well as huge time consumer. I want to enjoy this car ASAP, so these minor updates will do for now
