Pretty sure that no-one has yet fitted the four pots off the front to the rear, unless you're a track loon, there is simply no need, upgraded pads is usually adequate, I'm sure it could be done, but it would most likely not be the most efficient improvement possible.

As RON says, it's not necessary, and would probably screw the pedal travel/feel/brake balance out if you tried it.

get yourself a chunk of cardboard and make a cut out, then paint it to look like four pots, that'll be the easiest way to make it 'look' better!!!
