Nice! Missing the awesome performance seats from the looks of it to complement the CCBs.

I daily drive my car and have never tracked it. Yes I push it from time to time on the highway, canyons, rallys, etc., but they have never failed to perform in their primary function of BRAKING.
Now, if you were to sleep at the track, wake up, start the car, and start driving as you would on the track, I'm sure they wouldn't work to their full potential, but that's also a ridiculous proposition.
To say CCBs are "dangerous" before they're heated up sufficiently is just wrong. If you're talking solely about track use, then I can't say myself having never tracked it, but I would assume from all the literature that you are correct.

CCBs are on many cars now days some has standard equipment, and most are not used on the track. GM put out lots of CCB cars. I would think most people bring their cars up to proper temps before they drive them hard so brakes would get some use as well, but some don't. I don't know of any insurance companies charging extra because they think CCB cars will not stop in time, thereby causing more accidents. Many people use CCB equipped cars as daily drivers, I have some friends that do.

1) OP girlfriend got this car, has options on it, and got CC Brakes, but didn't get performance seats .. which raised eyebrows of why pay for them, other then if you just want to have the BRAGGING factor to say, " my car has CC ", and if that was the case, then just say it..
2) then it turned into a debate on CC's, so ..
To your own response, look it up, there are clearly cases in which Insurance companies have denied claims and even went after the car owner, for accidents and or events that happened in the fault of not able to break correctly.
(mainly stupid people showing off and revving up there cars and taking off out of a parking lot and trying to stop, and missed it.)
I have 3 cars that have CC brakes, and I understand how they operate , on road, track and the differences on how they act and feel at different times. (My GF tells me all the time how she can tell the difference as well) she has a heavy foot , the first G63 I got her was steel brakes, and the recent one is CC, she likes them when they are warm and she been hauling around town, but when she first gets out and about, I get a call and txt all the time. (I just tell her to haul *** a bit more and take the turn deep on the entrance ramp, that'll warm em up)
As for CC's needing to be warmed up, or not, or wiped down with a diaper, etc.. NO there is NO special EXTRA's that need to happen, and they work cold or hot, but they are meant for extreme braking and or heavy braking environments. With that being said, I have had 2 sets on a Ferrari be replaced because they were NOT driven thru complete heat cycles and damaged them, and that was from Brembo direct , that they must be "used" or it will cause issues.
So ending on this long note... If you want the GOLD calipers for just show, then say it.....
