Do you think I should change these rotors?

Looks like they may be below the minimum thickness specification so should be replaced. If you replaced them a little earlier you could get a better price at the scrap dealer. I took 526 lbs of scrap rotors to the local scrap yard earlier this year and got $75.

My kid did that on a Contour years ago.......except he went THROUGH the vanes too......the pad backing plates were sandwiching the inside half of the rotor.......It looked like a solid disk. LOL......... came to me and said.......'Dad.....I think there's something wrong with my brakes".........

That's exactly where I got that picture from. I was in Autozone today, buying a new battery and the salesman was telling me about it. I asked him if he still had it because I couldn't believe him. He took me outside and popped the trunk on his car and this is exactly what he showed me. I was stunned!
