Brake calipers are brushed aluminium with "Porsche" in black lettering--they're actually very light silver in color:

For those with higher bandwidth, a full-res version is here. Before anyone starts giving me grief about the rust, this photo was taken just after the car was unloaded from a trans-Atlantic cargo container...because of the rust!

Cheers!

Wheels look happier now - just take her for a drive with some turns to clear up that rust!

Brushed aluminium calipers... never seen any. Very cool! Anyone ever seen these before? OEM?

They are OEM on the 04 anniversary car. I think I've seen them on some 911's too.

What does the interior of #0000 look like? I assume it's cocoa since the top is. Does it have any other features that the standard car doesn't? I believe the 550 models came with the ROW sport suspension, does yours have it? How many miles are on it now?

I hope you're not driving it now with the weather we're having. Mines been stuck in the garage since November and it's killing me to have to see it but not use it.
