G87 rear break calipers upgrade options

Does anyone else feel bothered from the mismatch break calipers when you compare the nice front Brembo calipers to the rear Nissan looking calipers? I would like to upgrade to have them look more similar

Do they stop the car? I'm also usually inside the car when I'm driving it, so don't care what the calipers look like

....but you probably should do the fronts with a matching set to maintain brake balance:

BMW redesigned the parking brake which use to be a drum style brake housed in the rear rotor. That's why the rear on Gx chassis doesn't have fixed calipers like the front anymore, instead it's a single floating caliper which has the redesigned parking brake integrated into it. As a cost cutting measure, they just painted a floating caliper setup the same color as the front brakes, so they don't show the raw iron and become rusty after a few years instead of developing new fixed calipers to accommodate the new parking brake design.
