Nah, stick with black.
1. It's not an S, why bother? Paint 'em white if you really wanna be cool. 
2. Red calipers are a pain to keep clean, I've discovered.
3. I think your car looks hot in black and white.

That took a small leap of logic on your part to fill in the blanks and come to that conclusion, but I can see how that could be assumed. Let me clarify:
1. If you're going to paint your calipers, white would be cooler than red.
2. Painted calipers are a pain to keep clean, I've discovered.
If he leaves 'em black (or just bare metal like on most cars) he doesn't have to care about cleaning the calipers. But, if he's going to do it, I say he might as well go with white calipers with "PORSCHE" on them. That'd look hot.
Although I think the lettering should be in black, not red.

The first Porsche to sport big reds was a 964 Turbo so its more of a Turbo thing than a BoxsterS thing.
Red is nice mmm maybe RS Orange?

But as far as the Boxster model range goes, red is a Boxster S thing. I'm not sure how the color of calipers on a 964 Turbo is relevant.
It's all really lame though seeing as how the calipers are the same on a Boxster and the Boxster S though, isn't it? They're just painted different colors from what I can tell. The Boxster S has bigger rotors, and that's all.
