Yes..it is normal to get a layer of surface rust on the rotors, when they get wet, then the car sits for a couple of hrs. Should all scrape off when the brakes are used. My experience with the R1 Concepts slotted/ drilled rotors is that even though they come zinc coated or whatever, the coating wears off of the braking surface quickly, and when the rotors get wet over time you will see rust in the holes and slots. They work well though...never had a problem with them on my other 2 cars.

It looks like they are OEM M5 Exhaust. I wonder how the hell they fitted it to the passengers side. Can you confirm if the trunk floorboard is moded or not for the fitment of the exhaust to fit.

Can you tell us if your battery sits below the floor board or above the floorboard level? Just interested in seeing how the M5 exhaust could be added to the passengers side. Looks Perfect!

rotors look good...how much was the cost for rotors and pads from trinity? I think I've read in some posts ~$500....that correct?
The exhaust sounds sick. 
Sounds like my Impala. Is all the resonators still there?
