It took me about an hour to due both sides. The hardest part is breaking the 22mm caliper bolts. Once you get that done and remove the caliper the rotor will slide out and and the rest is cake.

Their nice, but I think you should have gotten red ones. Red on red looks awesome--very ferrari-ish. The silver ones would look perfect on CS, though. Just my opinion of course.

Yeah you have to cut the dust plate to get the rotor on. The plate is thin so its really easy to cut.
I did have to change my brake lines since the rotors were bigger. You might not though if the stock rotor is not that much bigger. When you put on the brembo rotors and caliper turn you wheel fully right and left to see if the brake lines are clear and don't have alot of tension. If not changing them out using a flare wrench and needle nose pliers to remove the clip. Try to use a rubber mallet to put the clip back in. It makes it easier.
