Yellow break calipers on a triple black 99.
 
Talk me into it, (or out of it) I have been considering it but haven't convinced myself to do it. Also how would I go about doing this.

That could look good, why not. Always reversible. :)

Do it! It'll look good!

Probably one of the best DIY guides on the topic:

Paint the Calipers

The best bang for your buck cosmetic improvement for the boxster IMO. Easy to do, cheap, and makes your car stand out more. I did blue on my calipers.

Just do it! A little splash of color can really spice things up ;)

If you can get a better shot, I'd be happy to photoshop for you. As is, the calipers are not visible in the picture you posted, so not much to work with.

Do it! It adds a classy bit of color.

Here are a couple...

The top picture is probably more realistic, while the bottom picture is exaggerated for dramatic effect.

May want to go with amber.......then you de- the rears, front sides, and four wheels at same time.

Yellow is sweet when clean!!!

But a little nasty when dusty and dirty.

if I had a black Boxster I'd plasti dip the wheels matte black. Then add a layer of mettalic gold on top.
With the calipers in red... a.k.a. the Lotus F1 JPS livery. TheStone is 90% there.

BIGJake111 03-13-2014 01:48 PM

i love the lotus gold and black colors but im trying to keep the boxster very subtle and such and different colored rims are out of question for now at least.

Carlisabadman986 03-13-2014 04:34 PM

All of these look great. What color do you think would look best on a silver Boxster?

Perfectlap 03-13-2014 04:42 PM

^ Titanium.

see drilled pistons below

Whooa - I'd have that on my coffee table just to look at it. But my wife would probably deem it a dust collector and turf it out....... I shudder at the cost!

There's something about Italian designers, whether its cars, motor cycles, womens clothes / accessories, boats, etc, etc.
Head and shoulders above most others.......
