Looks great!!

Shaved? Does that mean the old coating (paint, chrome, etc.) removed?

I see that in the 3rd picture down, the 12-point bolts are also powder coated. How does that hold up over time since they need to be removed and re-torqued when the pads need to be changed?

the bolts have not been coated, that is the stock finish on both sets of bolts. shaved means we shaved out the stock raised section for a cleaner smoother look
