you could retrofit 4 wheel factory brembos used for under 2K
you could go BBK for 3+
you could just get a set of these covers:

I believe there should be a LAW that requires brake modifiers to ACCURATELY test and certify aftermarket conversions and PROVE that they stop better [shorter or equal] than oem in a panic 70 mph stop........especially with larger than oem wheeels and tires.
Too many bad braking cars with $5,000 worth of wheels and painted brake systems.

+1 That's what I did. I used the G2 kit to paint the calipers black and they turned out great. I didn't want to go with red or some other color that makes people think that they were more than what they are, OEM brakes. Just looking to clean it up a bit.
