thanks for the welcome ! i did not care for the yellow calipers on the red car , so i had them painted gray with "porsche" in black. was one of the first things i had done when i got it. little more subtle but like it.

That's sorta funny because the yellow calipers are one of the first things I look for when checking out someone's 997TT.

That is totally eye popping, but you already knew that! Sweet ride. Do you have pics of your Cayenne and interior pics of the 911 Turbo S? What are your thoughts on both rides?

That is one looker, congrats!

Gotta say, I'm afraid "going more subtle" went out the door when you got the blazing red color with matching rims.

thank you ! here is a pic of the cayenne and another of the 997 on a trip back from eugene or. one of the main reasons i bought them is that i wanted easy to drive , RELIABLE cars that i actually use. not too exotic to take on a trip . they are both a pleasure to drive - all the power i could ever want , unfortunately have to show restraint on some of those wide open spaces ! have a set of blizzaks on the cayenne now for ski trips . (managed to pick up ticket last year near baker or. on way to sun valley ) . will have to take interior pic of 997 - black ,red stitching , red instrument cluster and red belts. dan

Insane! Just crazy awesome! I could never pull off such a bold look.

I hate yellow calipers too. But on a Porsche I'm always like 😍 because I know what they represent

thanks ! i've always been a red with black interior guy. nice to see porsche come out with some more color choices . seems when you look at dealers lots (not only porsche) most are white, black , silver or gray . when i bought my 997 at the end of 2013 there were hardly any guards red turbos (new ones ). i bought sight unseen from desert european in palm springs . dan

i really don't know if pccb perform any better but to me they are worth it just because the wheels have hardly any brake dust !
