Calipers yellow vs red on a seal gray 03 C2??

That's my dilemma, I want to paint my black bake calipers but can not decide on a color. Which color would look the best on an 03 seal gray Yellow vs red vs blue... Post pics if available TIA G'

I alway think yellow looks better on calipers - red is too common!! Heck I saw a Hyundai yesterday with red calipers!!

OK, neither were options so I apologize in advance. 1st vote: Pearl white 2nd vote: The style of Eddie Van Halen's Guitar

Yeah I'm sort of leaning towards the yellow ones! Still would like more opinions G'

+1 Neither color will look right on a C2.

Blue sounds interesting. Obviously red typically indicates the upgraded brakes of an S or a turbo. Yellow typically indicates PCCB. Blue would look custom... I've seen orange as well as bright green too, which are interesting options.

I like yellow.

Yellow=race......yellow wins!

I'd go with red over the yellow.

Yellow defenitely stands out..

Does anyone have blue slippers, please post pics Thank G'

If your looking for something more unique... Try brembo racing gold as seen on motorcycle calipers or their mono block calipers. Lay red brembo lettering over them. I had gold calipers on my titanium grey G35. Looked sharp to me.

When in doubt....go Red!

I've never thought about gold calipers! That would look sharp with the gold center caps Porsche emblem Thank, Keep the ideas coming..

Black.

I have a 2000 c2 artic silver with red seat belts and will do my calipers red, im just debating on the process to use.. so red it is

These are the titanium finished monoblock Brembo's on my R1 with red lettering -- they are nice but the best looking calipers are the gloss nickle finish Brembos with red lettering!!

go red, at leat it is original, Yellow is for carbon brakes and will look fake

yellow against seal grey is a great contrast... if you had silver I'd say go red... either way you can't go wrong

BLACK! Or "matching" gray.

They are already black now but do not stand out. As of now I'm leaning towards yellow unless I see a blue that can convince me. G"

"Just" calipers would be "BLING"...! Like adding ONLY coffee can exhaust tips. You would need to at least add front, side, and rear spoilers for the LOUD calipers to be recognized otherwise.

Phew, Nice front end on that R1

You could actually order a 996 from the factory with calipers painted in the color of your choice. I know there's a rennlister with a 996 C4S that has yellow calipers that were ordered from the factory.

I would pick red over yellow with grey.

My vote would be for yellow

Votes so far are 5 - yellow 5 - red 2 - black 1 - blue 1 - gold Can't seem to find a pic of the blue ones online! G'

silver

+1 for gold

Could be interesting... (photo taken from google images, and ECS tuning).

Wow those blue ones are cool!

I agree yellow generally means PCCB on a Porsche. I wouldn't want to look phony.

Except since Porsche allows custom order, any color you want, the concept of phony is rendered kinda moot

I predict you are going to choose.......Blue!

Those blue calipers are pretty sweet. You could worse than choosing that color. Red is too common; go with the blue.

Go red.. Doit, doit

I had mine done in the same color as my car (silver)... the color matched calipers looked great and didn't give the car that "modded" or "fake upgraded caliper" look

I guess that's true. But I've never seen factory yellow calipers that weren't ceramic.

Here's a photo of the wheel and caliper from a 2004 996 C4S that belongs to rennlister Mabuhay that has the following option: CRFT Brake Caliper in Yellow

It's not fake to have a yellow caliper it's only an aesthetic colour choice, I don't think anyone trying to act like they have ceramic rotors here. Sometime Porsche guys over analyze things!!!

+1000 to fanny bay r1. i would go with any colour that "I" think looks nice. personally that would be yellow

Well I guess I can't say that anymore then Look I'm all for painting your calipers whatever color you like. It is just that for me, the yellow PCCB calipers are pretty iconic. I never have been huge on brake caliper colors. My red ones look like **** after some track use.

camo...

I agree with those who say do what makes you happy and don't worry about it. Personally I prefer understated to embellished, but it's your car.

I have decided to go with RED after reading all the posts. Really don't want my car to look like a rice burner after different mods. Afer all this was an $80k when new. Thanks for all the input. G'

I know you went red but those yellow Cali's really look good maybe I'll do that on mine.....

My choice is obvious I added the Carrera yellow stripe to accentuate the calipers

Congratulations on choosing red. All look great and it's a matter of taste. I went with red because it really looked cool with my triple black IMO.

Problem with yellow is that it's a little "poser", as the carbon brakes have yellow calipers. Good job picking red - looks great and Porsche should have trademarked that.

should get my car back by Sat morning. I can't wait to hear hat exhaust note! Will post pics sometime this weekend G'

I think you will like it. I also went with red and I am pleased with the results.

Here are a couple examples of calipers done on new Brembo GT calipers, for anyone else looking for some ideas: Auto Talent did these in some kind of candy apple.
