Going from Porsche CCM kit to the new Brembo GT Racing, you are practically not adding any extra weight but the overall braking balance and feel is miles better. There is also absolutely no fade with the GT or a GT Racing kits even when used for pro racing.
For racing purposes i think its worth it, but not for street use. I have heard of the carbon ceramic rotors cracking from time to time. I think if you get these brakes, Slotted is the way to go.

Is it possible to have our factory calipers powder coated, or nickel plated to resemble the GTR calipers? Absolutely love the finish!

Powder coating is possible, but paint is more suited, just like they come out of the bremboi factory. Plating or anodizing is not reccomended because it will go to parts of the calipers wher the pistons sit and you won't be able to reinstall the pistons after. By the way , I paint brake calipers for Brembo NA.

paint calipers

the closest thing to nickel or chrome come from a few paint companies, but i will not reccomend those products on the calipers. Can paint a matte color to resemble the gtr track caliper that looks grey, green, gold ,etc. Or any other color.

How many calipers do you have to paint to afford $17k brakes?

The GT's are sick ... i love em ... noticable difference in the overall braking (not just when your hard on them)
