you can take the caliper off and leave it attaced to brake line. That would be your best bet if you don't want to bleed the brakes.

....stock was fine when it was not visible; if you wanted them to stand out, you'd be more impressive with a set of real BBK...simply IMO of course

I agree, if you really want the calipers to stand out, you'd better be off with painting them matted black and save for some BBK. It was hard but I restrainted myself from messing with the stock brakes and just went straight for brembos. In the end you'll end up loving them and of course the looks and performance of bbks are definitely worth the money.
