What's brake dust lol. I can go 1500km with hardly any visible brake dust.
I've been using aftermarket pads for a few years now and they are pretty good. They don't have the same breaking power as OE pads, but the trade off is worth it.

Thank Guys! Got them installed today and professional pics coming soon. I'm going to repaint the grill black again at home sometime this week.

You really had ZERO curb rash on those rims? How much did they cost and what exactly did it include besides the powdercoat?

No curb rash, just a few scratches in the paint. The shop sand blasted them then powder coated
