caliper replacement
I just did a brake job on my 2008 Z51. I like the front calipers because they say Corvette on them and am thinking of painting them. However those little rinky dink calipers that are in the rear have to go, they look like the calipers on my camaro. I would "like" to have calipers in the rear that also say Corvette on them. Now here it comes....... Is there an Easy fairly Inexpensive (notice I didn't say cheap) way to do this? I do not want to replace my front calipers.

I do not have specifics but there have been a few who have installed front calipers on the rear. It is not a bolt on, and plenty of people will chime in about how you are going to mess up the front to rear brake bias. There is also an option out there for a larger aftermarket rear caliper.

I was actually thinking about the fronts bolted to the rear but was concerned about the Bias. Hopefully some will join in here.

The EBCM will compensate for the increase in the rear braking. The vette comes with Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP) controlled by the EBCM. DRP replaces the pld mechanical Proportioning Valve. This is why people can swap to bigger brakes without any concerns.
The cheapest route would be to just paint the CORVETTE words on the caliper or get some of those cheesy caliper covers
