Changed a few things on the truck
Thanks Guys!
Those actually were the black coated rotors from brakeperformance.com. Stopping power is great but the coating has not held up as well as I'd like, I thought about trying to paint them but slathering caliper paint all over my braking surface seemed like pushing it a little too far. I am thinking of painting or dying that washer fluid reservoir though, I wonder how hard it is to take out?

I ordered it from Mopar.biz along with the OEM Nightrunner headlights. Their price on the grill was pretty good, the price on the lights was actually very good ($300 for the pair).
Not on the braking surface itself but on the outer rim, hub area, in the dimples and slots, basically everywhere that the brake pads don't make contact with. If there was only rusty spots on the braking surface it wouldn't matter since you can drive for 2 minutes and remove that just by using the brakes. Either way the performance for the price is great but I'll be trying a different brand next time because I'm not happy with how they look right now. There has to be someone with a coating that will last.

Rich, the coating that is used is just a Zinc coating. if your looking for a coating that will last forever, you need to powder coat them. the zinc is for rust prevention.
Hot gasses in the dimples/slots will cause powdercoating to peel off too.
