Purple would make the daughters happy!

Normally I don't give a damn about what people think, but the red calipers seem to define the "S" models. Just didn't want to make myself out to be kin to one of those fellows who drive around in an '88 Honda Civic with VTec stickers all over it!

NO, NO, NO! You're not allowed to have Red Calipers without buying a S. Just Kidding.

Nice job on them, haven't seen the red on black. I think the Red would surely stand out more. Alot of base Boxsters have painted them. Like the others have said, it's yours, do what you like.

I love the cf inserts, I can't find them with the S added on without paying $600 for the factory ones.

They look great!

You can paint them whatever color you want.

I think it would look really cool. Be careful though someone might think your a poser!

Also, where did you find a silver non-smoker tray?

Mine are red. Best (and one of the the cheapest) mods I did on my car. The red lettering is a nice look too though.

Dj,

Your wheels look awesome ( and they look even better in person )

I really like the looks of the Kumho's too ! Maybe I need to reconsider the Nexen’s I was thinking of picking up

I wouldn't pain them red. Your black w/ red looks unique and to be honest looks better than red calipers.

i really do recommend them, i tried everything so far to break them loose, straight line or sideways, no luck (well on street that is, no track time yet)
