Cool

Just be sure you learn why drilled brakes are stupid while you search, but it's your car.

I don't know if they are stupid. I think they are round.

But seriously, Ferrari and Porsche use them. To really rub a chicken, Ferrari uses Brembo for their brakes.

I would not mind a certain stupid red car.

well fyi, x-drilled rotors
tend to crack around the holes on the rotor. after time your rotor basically starts to crumble like a cookie !

that would also be dependent on the quality of the material that the rotor is made of.

Personally, I'm all for blanks but each rotor design has its benefits and flaws. If you want slotted, go for it, but realize that you'll be eating brake pads left and right.
