Thanks RandallNeighbour

I'm going for the Teztar then. I'v been wondering about what the stainless steel brake lines does, I thought it was just for show. But thanks for sharing the info.
While I'm at it, I'm gonna buy those as well.

Didn't you mean you painted your calipers red?

I have everything for that, including the Porsche decals. So I'm ready to go

Yes, I meant calipers, not rotors!

And if you want to do it and have the time, buying high-temp clear coat to shoot on top of the finished caliper after the porsche stickers have been put on makes the whole package last a lot longer.

I didn't do this and mine have been just fine though... right up until I had to rebuild one of my calipers and the clamps I used to press in the cylinders tore up the lettering on one of the calipers

I have some clear coat also. But I'm thinking of sending them to a pro.
It's not before summertime, before I'm going to do it.
I'm in the danish navy, so currently I'm on Greenland

The stainless steel brake lines, is it 4 lines total for the whole car?

Yes, one brake line per wheel, unless you have the customized six wheel boxster and then you'll need two extra ones

One more question: I've read that when you change pads and discs you might come overcross some of the things on the caliper that is worn out. Is there any kit I can buy so I can change all that, while I'm down there?

You might need new brake pad wear sensors.
