Thanks for going to the work of looking on Amazon, unfortunately, the ones in that link (and when I searched too) all do not fit the GXP if you read the description. I also tried all the other links you provided before. I did find some on eBay, but the seller has been unresponsive about expedited shipping... So, we decided to try the caliper paint you can buy and a pair of the grey/black ones that I can find pretty much everywhere. Fingers crossed the painting looks good.
Does anyone know if they are like the Comp G calipers? Just regular calipers that GM painted?? Manufacturers are required to carry replacement parts for their vehicles for x number of years after production stops. Doesn't really make sense that x would be 10 years. You could probably find calipers at a GM dealer for a lot older cars that they keep in stock. Just sayin.

it is possible that the bean counters only allowed for a larger caliper bracket to move the OE GP/Fbody caliper for the larger GXP rotor, but it doesnt seem likely that its the compG, the compG doesnt use the same style parking brake or knuckle/parking cables.
to put GXP rears on the CompG i have required swapping out everything.
youd be better off to get loaded calipers/rotors for a std/base/GTP 04-09 W body and swapping to them.
you dont see many left because it was limited production, and it seems way too many people tighten the banjo bolts and strip the threads out of the caliper
the GXP calipers/etc are powder coated, the CompG cars were painted calipers (std brakes)

The cheap buggers. Figures. The rotors were slotted and drilled on the GXP's too weren't they?
