Ghettofabulous! 
I'm one of the guys who thinks white/white belongs with the JDM cars. 
I switched out my OEM brake pads with Porterfield R4-S pads and they have significantly less dust. The sooner you do it, the better because your rotors are worn from the OEM pads and it will create brake squeal which may exceed the bedding period. My rears still squeal from time to time. Good luck finding pads!
