Carbon Ceramic Brake Setup
There is a complete OEM carbon Ceramic brake setup right now on Ebay.

I know I saw at least one thread in the past with someone looking for one.

That's a good question. I don't know. If there is, it would be because the rear parking brake motors are different than on a GT, but from a visual, the rear calipers look identical.

Looking at the ceramics in a bigger pic, now back to thinking they're the same calipers. But still think the bracketry might be needed.

Those are simple bolt-ons but will likely require different brackets (bolts, etc.) for a GT as they have a slight different brake setup than the GTS.
Please note one rotor is chipped and pics don't show both sides in detail. I would request detailed pics of every rotor from both sides and wear marks. The chip shouldn't be a big deal but a dealer will tell you to swap the rotor for safety reasons...

Actually two of them are chipped and one shows stress marks. The rotors appear to be poorly handled. I wouldn't consider getting them...

A new set will set you back 12K. Ive priced it out via the same source I got my OEM wing from. Also, fun fact - these fit a lot of different cars - E, S, GT, SL, etc. Like Wolfman said too, you need some brackets. I havent confirmed, but I had heard from an MB tech that they do need to be coded to the car, but not sure why; might be the ABS.
