IS350 rear caliper upgrades?

OK...I want a purely VISUAL upgrade...anyone make a caliper that looks like the IS350 fronts or brembos, but will bolt on to the IS3250 rear with no modifications, and use the stock pads? I know its a long shot...I just wanna paint my calipers and I HATE the way the rear caliper looks...I dont wanna do a complete big brake upgrade as I am VERY happy with my stock braking ability....just wanna get that "look"....If not...anyone ever get the IS350 front brakes to work on the rears?

Putting IS350 brakes on your rear would be a bad idea, not to mention it would need a lot of custom fab work.

You will throw your brake symmetry way off and you most probably will make things worse.

If you only want a visual upgrade why don’t you buy a set of those covers that slip over your stockers and look like a 4 pot setup? It will cost you 1/10 the price of trying to actually upgrade the rears.

no one has done this since the front calipers are destined for ventilated discs and the 250 rear discs are singles. so no go there, unless you redesigned them.
