my new ss/sc pics (need help with rotors)

i just bought this 05 ss/sc. it has gm stage 2, magnaflow exhaust, and some kind of drilled/slotted rotors (need help identifying)

also, someone mentioned in another thread that the heat shield for the manifold was missing. how can i confirm that?

anyway i washed it today and here are the pics



can anyone tell me the make of these rotors?

I took a look at mine and noticed that are far less slots than yours. That rules out the gm drill/slot rotors. (AC Delco rotors for those that prefer I am politically correct)

you used 1 photo to make an hdr by duplicating it into 3. the car doesnt look real, or hi def, looks way too glossy and the car has a white aura around it?

that's cuz the opacity is all the way up. I didn't think it turned out too bad considering it was such a small picture to begin with

anyway....so i looked and i can see my manifold perfectly which means there is no heat shield on it. how bad is this? i cant imagine that much damage can be done because of it right lol i dont really know much

also the coolant in my tank looks kind of dark. i cant really tell if its just the actual tank not being very clear anymore or if its actually the coolant. i have another added coolant tank on the right side of my engine bay by the windshield's fluid cap and that coolant seems to look normal (pink in color). any thoughts?
