what to do with brakes??? (pics)

alright, I want to paint the center of my rotors, because they are all rusty. I painted my calipers gloss black last year. I am tempted to repaint my calipers again. I am leaning toward painting my rotors aluminum, which will look pretty much like new and not too aftermarket looking. I think that aluminum color will blend with the face of the rotor good and just give it a clean look. For my calipers I am thinking about leaving that bust bar on the front brakes (if thats what its called) gloss black, then painting my calipers red. How do you think this would look???

also, my car is rio red and the red paint I found is pretty much an exact match to my car.

Here is what i'm starting with!!

Red calipers all the way, dont paint your rotor unless you dont feel like stopping, you can get crossdrilled and slotted rotors off of ebay for like 150, thats for ALL 4 wheels. When you get em, theyll need to be machined down, but tis worth it because your car stops great and looks awesome
 
what rotors are they. sounds kinda cheap.

yeah jon. 2 months hmmmmmm. at least i don't have stock mufflers. hahahhahahahahahahahahahaahahahhahahahahahahahaahhahahahaahahahahhahaahahahahahhaahhaha. oh yeah, you will too in about 3 mths. hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
I painted my rotors to match my car and they stop fine. I also have a pair of CD/SL Race Concepts rotors for sale. Thay are for stock GT size and have dimple drilled pattern instead of all the way through.
