Brake caliper reccomendations anyone?
My 20' rims are due to arrive later this week and was wondering if anyone can reccomend as to what to do with my brake calipers in order to give them a better look?

Your least expensive option is to just paint them. A more expensive solution is to replace them with the Brembo big brake kit

If I was to go with the Brembo big brake kit, do I need to do a complete brake job with rotors and all?

Brembo kit ~$5000 USD damn that will hurt, but if you got no other place to spend your money - get the Brembo kit!
The Brembo kit looks great on kirkX5m´s racing machine along with the nice wheels...

Or paint them and get some nice drilled rotor on ebay ~$250 USD
