Can people who have any of the aftermarket rotors please post pics of them after they have been broke in. I want to see what they look like and if they show any rust or corrosion on them. I have just plain replaced rotors and they rust bad and look like crap!!

Do you mean look like crap like mine do? Or look the same as they do when you get them new?

cheap rotors without any coating are going to show rust....quickly. drilled slotted rotors are no different.

If you want them to look nice longer your going to need to tape off the brake pad area and paint everything else.

Ok thanks for the reply guys. So if I were to get the EBC rotors would they look good for a long time or would I need to paint them also?

Mine will show rust if I don't drive it for a week or more. As soon as you drive they look brand new again like most brakes.

Napa auto parts has a premium zinc coated rotor now. A very nice rotor just make sure it has the CR at the end of the part number

Then I washed it this evening and here's what they look like....
