Red or Yellow Calipers?
 
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1342508046.jpg

I'm installing front S brakes, so they'll fill out the wheel a bit more. My question is:
Should I keep the calipers red? Or paint them yellow?

The interior will eventually have a black and yellow trim, which is why I ask. Yellow will fit the trim... but calipers look so much more aggressive red.

Put me down for a yellow vote on that one.

Good luck

I'd say yellow to match the interior. I think they look wicked in yellow too!

Here is how they will look yellow ( from my 986)

I always determine the performance of a car by the color of the calipers. It may sound like a joke but it isn't. Black; standard brake package (cast iron). Red; upgraded (larger diameter) performance package (cast iron). Yellow; high performance upgrade (larger 6 piston calipers, carbon/carbon or ceramic composite rotors and pads - up to $20- $25K option).

Porsche isn't the only ones with these color designators, Corvettes also.

Red shows less dirt and looks cool. :dance:

With black car, yellow calipers is my vote (I have grey exterior and painted my calipers red)

I am so lucky to have brakes !!! An old good looking guy like me is what the "Babes" are looking at !!!!! Not the brakes. How about it....Recycled ??? !!!!

Crono0001 07-17-2012 03:41 PM

I'm sold on yellow.
Pics soon to come.

Also, I'm not so old :D
