Default rusting rotors?

The brake rotors on the right front and the right rear have orange marks all over them. I think its rust. I just noticed it today. The left side is all black like its supposed to be.

Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Normal for the S2K, yes, but please be sure to take the car out for a quick spin after washing it, otherwise the brakes will stick to the rotor from the rust!

Kumar,
Rust on rotors is normal.
Don't use the E-Brake after a car wash. I just leave it gear when I park it to avoid the loud *snap* that would happen the next time I move the car.


Sumir,
Cool avatar! He's got rhythm!

Normal; no big deal; you can drive it around before you park it after washing; or wait, it'll come off either way; nothing to worry about.
