Brake dust - ARGH!
Someone please tell me that all this brake dust will eventually ease up after the brakes are worn in! Even if I drive the car for an hour and mostly on the highway, I get tons of brake dust on the wheels. Is this normal?

If it's anything like the C5 Z's, your VY will be black from the mirrors down.
Changed mine to ceramics after the first 200 miles. Paid a premium for MY, why have a black tint coating after a mile of driving.

Nice! I figure if I leave the dust on there... in about a few days, they'll look like yours when clean!

Oops! It shows up in flash pictures though. I noticed that from the picture from the raccoon thread.

My wheels are Competition Brown--stock pads might be as dusty as our C5 race pads

Yeah you can see the reddish brake dust all over. Are ceramics in the works Jdogg?
