The rotors you have pictured aren't from Rotorpros are they? If so, they must have switched manufacturers. Your rotors look to have gone through an additional finishing process that left the braking surface smooth and burnished (just like the forumracing rotors I have on my tib). The ones I received for my brother's car have rough, raised ridges from the machining process, almost like what you see on CNCed parts. I think they'll bee a pain to break in. We'll see.

Oh, and the black zinc coating on my rotors lasted for months of daily driving before it finally wore off of the braking surface. Pretty durable stuff. I expected it to be gone in just a few days.

Just sent payment ($255) for 1 Non captive set, dimpled and slotted, coated in black zinc, w/ the low dust pads!

Cant wait till i get them! (now to get some rims)

any idea on how long this is available? id like to get some but need to wait for some cash

Its indefinate my mang!

Just tell Rich that Aviv (Screwdriver) from RDTiburon referred you, and you should be fine.

hell ya! awesome, i cant wait to get some money

I Finally got them (on Saturday)!!! yeah, it took a little while, but my timing on the order wasn't exactly perfect (after 1 holiday and only a few days before another, plus the weekend before it)

now it's just finding time (probably Thursday) to put them on! I got them coated in black, and i was very surprised to see they coated the entire rotor, not just the surface like i read (thought i read it in this thread). so now no part of the rotor, should, rust!

look good. just wish i knew what the gold looked like. may be a tough call

^^if you want those exact ones shown in the pic (still in the same condition as in the pic, never installed) let me know. since my car was just "totaled", ill sell them at a little bit of a loss, but not to much because of what shipping would be.

This GB is still going I believe

I just sent them a message. I need a rear set.
