I love my yellow calipers!

Beside I think those brembo Porsche stockers are cast, not CNC'ed like the performance kits so they would need to be polished in a way (tumbler + belt polishing min). Also the guys wants to take a face cut and engrave the Porsche lettering on them :/ Not sure if this would compromise their integrity in all honesty so... still not sure.

I think OP's pic is pretty cool. Wheel color matching the caliper, quality rotors and all. Nice setup

Solid Orange/Black lettering is what I'd do.

Gotta give you guys with the hundreds and thousands of "posts" - kudos! Where do you get the time??

I repainted my TT's calipers as they were peeled and faded when i bought the car. I'm all for a stock look, but like the nickel plating. Make sure to use spray paint. I used the pelican paint and wish it were smoother. It did self level, but not as much as i would have liked. You cant tell unless you are cleaning the caliper or the wheels are off. It is very glossy though.

I'm thinking of powder coating mine blue.

Did you figure out how to read yet? There are words to go with those pretty pictures, you know.
I know, reading is soooooo hard!

Here's a clue; no one is talking about putting Italian flag colors on a German car

What do you guys think of doing something like these, but layered like the red white and green and instead with the German colors?? Tacky or no??
