Mine look as ratty as yours. when i / if i redo the brake calipers taking those off as well. not sure if buy new and paint or sand the hell out of the old and paint. either way, stock looks like crap after the first year.

Not sure how much it would cost by themselves, I had them done along with the calipers. Everything was taken off and painted when I had the rotors replaced. Also had SS brake lines installed. Ran me $490. I know it's high but they did a real quality job. Nothing I could do myself.

The engineers put the backing plate on to DIRECT air over the rotors... I can almost guarantee that you will experience more brake overheating if you take them off. Going through ASE courses etc. has always taught me to LEAVE THOSE ON and to AVOID bending them when doing brake jobs to prevent possible brake overheating. Painting would be your best option to make them look nice and pretty.
