Lester, it is not scoring at all. I just went outside to check and to feel and rub the surface of all four rotors. The rear rotors which still have the OEM pads have similar circular but lighter "markings" (for lack of a better word). The fronts with the new pads are slightly darker but not dark like what you see in the pictures. I did not notice if the front OEM pads gave off similar markings when I had them on. I should have paid more attention to those sort of things.

So far the new pads have been quiet and vibration free with low dust and give a confident, secure feeling.
