Default Rusting Calipers?

Just noticed that my calipers are completely discolored. They have a grayish shade to them (like a car looks when it has been out in the snow/salt too long).

Is this normal for the GS? It looks terrible!

Apparently this is normal. Mine are exactly as you describe. And my rotors look terrible, too. I'm not too upset as they are on my list of stuff to replace, anyhow.
