Default brake pad confusion

I decided to do my rear brake pads myself, i have never done brake pads before and decided i would do it since all the places wanted $180 to do them.haha

Anyway i went to the local auto parts store and they gave me these wagner thermo quiet brake pads, My question is do these look right? They just seem to look different compared to the ones on the car. I prolly dont know what im talking about but i just dont wanna start working and find out i have the wrong pads. Any help would be great.

Now that you have these Wagner pads, what is your comment about it? I want to get this stuff soon too. Thanks!

Wrong pads. Your sig says you have an Enthusiast model. Those are pads for the Brembo brakes on a Track/Grand Touring model. You want the non-Brembo pads.
