Yes. Need brackets to install.

Do you want to install the new calipers on all 4 corners or just the rears/fronts? Either way, it's not a small endeavor. It has been done many times on many vipers, but it requires:
a big brake kit (the brackets that Dave is referring to)
2 or 4 SRT calipers (14")
an emergency brake kit for the rear
2 or 4 14" rotors
brake pads
might want to upgrade to stainless steel brake lines while you're doing this
To get the big brake kit on the rear installed, the ears on the rear hubs need to be cut off so that the big brake brackets can be installed...

Isn't that what Dave's big brake kit is all about, putting SRT brakes on a Gen2 or Gen 1? Here's the link to the install and can be found in the "How To" section (not forums). http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/598315-Installing-Dave-s-Big-Brake-Kit

To be honest the main (only) reason is to have a better looking rear caliper to match the front, I can't find a nice rear caliper with a cover the way the front is without spending too much, seems like this will be just as costly, I don't need anymore stopping power or anything like that, just want my rear calipers to look nice (match the front) which is black with Split Viper lettering in white...

You could just take the factory cast iron ones and powdercoat them. Or for even cheaper just paint them.
I kinda want'm to macth the front and have viper lettering on them

Paint them all... all the way around ... then everything matches the way you like them.

why not paint them than put the viper vinyl lettering on it.

The SRT calipers do not match the Gen 2 calipers. You will have to change all 4 to SRT to get them to match.
Looks like there's no easy or cheap fix here, have to wait til someone sells some matching rears. As for painting and applying decals I don't understand how that'll work, I mean there's no cover or area to apply the decals too ( it's very small compared to the front), I guess I could paint for now just to enhance a little...
If you look at the gts that KNG is parting out you'll notice on the rears he has brake covers to match the front, those are toms 40mm which I believe won't work with my car cas ABS and besides they're all ready spoken for by another member, but ultimately thats the look I'm trying to accomplish...
