OK to replace stock calipers with red brembos?

I thought replacing the stock calipers with red brembos would compliment my soon to be black-themed car. What do you all think?

Nope, won't work.

You need to do a full BBK to do that. The rotors are not the same size.

I thought the 06 Brembos are about 13" as well. If so, you'd still have to do the complete BBK. And if the Brembo rotors are about the same dia as the stock ones, will there be $3k+ increase in braking performance for a street driven car?

The Brembos sure look nice, but I'm curious about the 08 coupe brakes in the 07 sedan. If they work, maybe those can be had for less $$.
