Yupp..that's a Maaco paint job. Granted they only painted it haha i prepped it and everything else but thanks! The rotors I have are from a company called brake motive. I've heard they sell them on ebay but I'm not sure. Honestly, I really like the rotors but Evolution ceramic pads that came with it aren't the best. They do have very low brake dust though guessing you don't want that all over your rims haha but they are OE size. I used the same calipers and everything. Same size brakes, but big difference in braking.

Yeah I seen some on eBay and wasn't sure about them. I am still looking to do a swap and no matter how much more or how much in loans I gotta take out, I want the car to be converted fully, within the next year or so. So I wasn't sure if I should bother getting those sweet looking brakes, or if Big Brakes were any different and preferred as an alternative to the GT-Four brakes.

Swap? As in 3sgte? But ofcourse haha that's my next big project. But for the brakes, I'm guessing if you don't want to spend a rediculous amount on Big Brakes or GT-Four brakes then drilled would be a fine improvement. I spent around 200 to 250 (I can't remember for sure). I also don't know the price for the other ones but I'd definitly check into those cuz I'm sure bigger is better haha I got these before I knew about the bigger GT4 brakes so I never really looked into them..
