Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all - I am new to the Boxster world and could use some advice. I have a 2002 Boxster. I want to change my calipers to red, like would come on an "S". If I buy a set of used S calipers will they fit on my base Boxster? Or will I need additional components? Thanks. David Preston

POST 2Original post

Hmm, well, there are some Boxster "guys" on here, but you might wanna try the 986 forum.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My mistake - thank you.

POST 4Original post

why not paint your originals?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys for the help. I think that I will go with painting the calipers that are on my car. Changing out the front calipers seems to be straightforward. But changing the rear calpiers seems more complicated and I would need more components. Probably not worth the hassle and the total expense. Thanks again.

POST 7Original post

With regards to painting your brake calipers, what color nail polish are you planning on using?

POST 8Original post

We have brake caliiper paint kits that come with your choice of 3" or 4" Porsche decals in three different colors. Since you won't be changing out the calipers you can always slap on some Pagid brake pads for extra stopping power with your factory 986 calipers. Let us know if we can help!
