thanks oliver for response!
so ive been thinkin, i guess dont fix if not broken,
however say the rotors do go bad, are there any cheaper rotors crossdrilled and/or slotted??
i just dont want to put $2500-4000 on wheels just to show how rusted my brakes are lol

just fyi:
cheaply drilled rotors is just asking for trouble. The cheap ones are mostly for cosmetic purposes and do NOT have better performance, and are very susceptible to cracking, which is a very dangerous prospect.
$0.02, your car, your money.
and no, your stock brakes are not ugly. But if you REALLY want, i would suggest bigger calipers painted! Like the AMG brake kits?
