Maybe this info should of been in your first post...... Slowing down from 150mph probably toasted your rotors.

The chips
were pieces being torn off by
centrifugal force....jk about that last part.
I honestly was really light on the brakes on that slow down...... literally pressed the pedal for 1 maybe 2 seconds, and then coasted for 5-10 sec, and then repeat

SHO-TYM I feel for you,but its a fact that any combo pads and rotors newly installed must strictly follow the stupid break in procedure,let alone repeated stops from 80-90 will cause your pads to overheat,simple rule is not to exceed 60,and when you notice a bluish tint on the rotors the cycle is completed,we all learn something new in life everyday dude,and good luck.

Pics 3 & 4 in OP are different rotors?  If so, would lean towards mfr defect.  Probably cosmetic.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I roasted my stock pads and rotors the other day doing what you did. Only a lot harder on the deceleration rate. I took the rotors off today and sanded off the melted pad from the rotors as well as the pads themselves.  Now it's back to normal, but I need to find a better pad. The stock rotor on the 13's are far better than any aftermarket one I can find.
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.
