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.

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!

^^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.
