Looking to upgrade my turbo brakes

Anyone got an idea how to upgrade the 996 turbo brakes to look exactly like the gt2 pccb but with steel rotors?Basically more or less i just want the aesthetics because Ive done a gt2 front bumper and rear wing conversion and i want the caliper to be in the same position as the pccb ones, with the stock 997 turbo front and rear calipers but painted in yellow work fine? Do i need any sort of adapters? thanks

I have the GT2 6-piston Porsche OEM Brake Calipers and Rotors for my front brakes and they are awesome. Match perfectly. Was pricy when done, but well worth it.

We recommend going to the bigger 997 turbo rotors and Cal*Cool plates from Rennkit to cool the calipers, since the calipers need to move about 3/8" to accommodate the larger rotors. This is an inexpensive upgrade the give the larger rotor look. We recommend the Sebro slotted rotors. We also recommend some street/track pads, with Ferodo being a very popular choice right now.

You can paint the calipers yellow to resemble the PCCB calipers as well.
