So... I had considered a BBK upgrade but it won't play nice with my winter wheels and frankly, at $2500 it's just not worth it on this particular car. Instead I bought some slotted rotors, braided lines, ceramic pads, etc... Part of my push to replace the OEM parts is that the stock components are ridiculously prone to rust and the hats are a mess after only one year. With my summer wheels being so open faced, much of the hat rust is visible; so I ended up getting some EBC blackdashes:

These shipped direct from EBC and maybe I'm too picky but I'm not fond of all the scratches and the rust they'll bring. I'm sure if I returned them I'd get more of the same. Would powdercoating the rotors (except for the pad path) be the way to go or would you just rusto them and call it a day? Triangles of the hat are visible between my lugs/spokes as are the sides.
