Suspected cause
several people including my speed shop thought it was the real deal.

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.

1. Should I paint my brake calipers red? (AS/BLK C2) How hard is it??
2. How long are the Heated seat wires? (ie-want to move to upper console)
3. How do I remove "batwing"?
4. Rebadge from "Carrerra" to "911", black or AS??
5. Need more bass, plug and play options??
Any info/opinions??
#5 depends on which model yr (analog or MOST) and wether you have Bose option or not.
Badge is a personally preference. I like my black Carrerra just fine. AS stands out more which isn't my taste.
Black caliper can be painted but that doesn't impress anyone unless you own a Mitsubishi or Honda.
If you can swing the cash forget cheap a** paint and buy the real deal. I bought my calipers new from B-Wine for about $1200 and sold my black ones for about $600. Net money spent was $600 and so worth it since the calipers should be red on these bad boys anyway (except for the yellow PCCB sets).
If you paint them yourself they WILL look cheap and they will not last. My calipers still look as new as the day I installed them. Why? Factory painted.
BTW, my 2 best mods were joining this site b/c of all the money it saved me! Always has somebody that can point you in the right direction for the best deal. My other best mod was going to every DE event I could to get better and better behind the wheel.
don't poo poo on the caliper paint so easily. several people including my speed shop thought it was the real deal. they have been durable and have not discolored (yet?). after a track day they are still shiny and bright red. after a year of tracking then maybe this won't be the case
. at any rate the rear painted looks as good as the front powder coated (they maybe even painted) stoptech.
they key is having the skills. i have great hand skills (used to make prototype models) so my job came out great (pat on back). the other key is to spray the logo rather than using vinyl stickers on them.
nice huh?
Not a bad finish at all. However, I would have removed the calipers from the car as well as the retaining pin, pads, bleed screw, pistons, etc. and made it look as professional as possible (since you do have the skill to do it). Not bad but could have been better.
that would be the correct way to do it but i thought that no one would ever see then insides of the caliper. ya i should have masked the pin and the hydraulic tube but IZ A LAZY BASTID.
Carlos, how did you spray the logo? Did you use a stencil or something? I may have a brake upgrade on the horizon. I wonder if my red rear Boxster S calipers would have fit yours?
hey there,
maybe we can do a bay area caliper paint fest, just kidding
. i used high temp caliper spray paint from autozone. they have several colours. i got the caliper decals from ebay and specifically requested the mask (the opposite of the decal. i used it as a stencil/mask then sprayed silver paint lightly. i used silver high temp paint, autozone didn't have white. actually, i like the affect.
i thought boxster S calipers came straight from the 996 (not S, those are turbo brakes).
I think the brakes are the same, but the Porsche part numbers are different. The difference, of course, could be that one is black and the other is red?
Were the stencils you got from XenonMods.com for like $10? Was the size the same as stock?
