Default Rear Brake Upgrade?

I want to use a bigger, cooler looking break in the rear of my xB. not for anything practical, cause most of the braking is done up front. i just want it for looks.
does anyone make something like this?
i dont like to look thru the spokes of my shiny new wheels and see that little bitty disk back there.

thanx all

... not to mention that there is a kit in the parts section on this site:

... now can I assume that you're a moron (not that I did in the first place, but since you mentioned it... I just figured you were a lazy noob)?

Caliper paint all the way for a cheap DIY. I think there's a tech article on this here.

has anyone tried this break kit. i honestly have not heard of this company before. they seem like a legit company with plenty of products to offer. i am just used to hearing names like brembo, stoptech, willwood, etc
