Default Thoughts on brake calipier color with Miami Blue

*Caliper spell check

Hi everyone,
I'd like to get your options on brake caliper color with a Miami Blue. Does red typically clash with the blue? I am leaning towards the PCCBs yellow but thats a 8,000.00 option. : )

Check out
it has the red calipers.

I would have gone red, but I went with yellow stitching and thought it’d clash. I really like the yellow calipers but not a huge fan of ceramic brakes so went with the black calipers.

Mclaren orange?? JK. If you dont like the red go with the black, its about 1K. Get the PCCBs for the performance benefit, not just because of the color. Check with your SA, you may be able get them in Miami through CXX. But that's prob. $8k..lol

Personally, I dont think red is an issue but that's me

yellow or black - never red ... but if you do go with red .... no other color, keep everything neutral in the cabin otherwise it starts to look like some kids toy you get for filling up at Chevron IMO

Yellow.

But if you don't want to spend the money on pccb's, there area few places that can change the color on your calipers and do a good job. If I recall Moe from this board offers that service. Having them in the Miami Blue would look good!

I tried to get Python Green calipers via CXX......got a very fast negative response from Porsche Exclusive followed by calipers for steel can only be ordered in red or black.
So in order to eliminate the Christmas Theme of red calipers and Green car I went with Black calipers.

I agree with Larry, I don't want a lot of colors clashing. I am fairly new to this forum, can I see Moe's work or information?

Yellow or black.

Moe is probably Moe from Glistening Perfection, he own's a detailing shop and may offer that service.

good call - then black calipers will work well, and will probably be a rare combo ... yellow 2nd choice ... I assume silver and not platinum or black wheels!!!

hope you have your order in ... its rumored that Miami will be replaced this winter with a new blue...
