You can go with a better rotor and pad combo and paint your calipers and they'll look a lot better. Having a good pad/rotor combo like a hawk/powerslot is just about as good as having a BBK if you are only doing street driving. On the track, the BBK is much better.

Good thing about BBK is strong resale value. Even for factory Brembo.

There are full kits, such as these.... (LINK)
Or just rotors such as these (LINK)
Depending on where you go, these rotors can cost the same as OEM's and last longer too...
Contact Rick at StatusAutodesign, tell him Quintin referred you.

you could just get some slotted and drilled rotors for the front and rear, then maybe paint the calipers black or something. That along w/ nice pads and SS lines will make a tremendous difference. I know i changed my front pads (rears are fine since the fronts take 90% of the load) to HAWK HPS pads and i noticed a big difference just from that.
