The only thing you can get from Pep Boys are those CHEAP plastic covers. I assume that you are smart enough not to put those on a TL (unless you ENJOY being laughed at). You can do after-market calipers (in any color you choose) and there are a number of threads that already cover what is available so I won't bother going in those details AGAIN in this thread...

around 2K per axle, it's called a BBK (big brake kit) and you can buy them from Excelerate on the blackmarket section, groupbuys.
