Very nice. I opted for the Racing Brake two piece slotted as they are light weight and the center(where the lug bolts are) is black. Because mine are two piece, there are also air slots between the cap and the rotor face, but then again.......I had to buy them, so kudos to dad for hooking you up! 
+1 for the clears! Looks good!

Cool dad indeed. Hope they came with rust prevention. I opted for Racing Brake as well, but did not need 2-piece.

The only bit of rust I have are on the rear rotors because the pad does not cover the entire surface. There's almost 1/2 inch of exposed surface closest to center. I may have to paint that area to match the black. We installed Racing Brake slotted on my friends 8 and noticed the same thing. Kind of odd that the entire surface is not being used.

I have that somewhere, I'll try and dig it up.
I did this when I shipped my stock rotors to someone in VA....I think it was??????
Found it, but all should know about this sticky!!!!!!
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-racing-25/weight-stock-rx8-parts-81791/
So here is the answer for an MT with the sports package, but do not quote me!
OEM
Front rotors = 18.5lbs
Rear rotors = 12.5lbs
Racing Brake two piece
Front rotors = 14.1lbs
Rear rotors = 9.85lbs
