If I go with PCCB on my GR car, I save $800 if I leave the calipers yellow. I don't THINK I mind that look, but it will be a sharp contrast. Then...if I go with yellow calipers, should I change my interior stitching from red to yellow, to tie in with the calipers? lol
Oh, and the seatbelts are currently spec'd red, as well. I would think I would switch those to yellow, as well, if the stitching were switched.
Oh, dang it...I have red dials spec'd. Make them yellow, too? lol
I have previously matched the interior stitching *and* seatbelts with my PCCB calipers, but those were *all* blue exterior colors...
I tend to agree with others that red/yellow combo is not "pleasing" ...
For my (Miami Blue) Spyder I broke with this tradition and kept the silver/grey stitching and spec'ed the MB seatbelts as I felt that "adding yellow" might make the car "too busy"
I personally would paint the PCCB calipers black and retain the GR interior stitching etc - but I would definitely *not* replace the interior stitching w/yellow - its just "too loud" (for me)
BTW what color wheels - hopefully not black, silver or aurum?
I have seen some red ferrari pics with big yellow calipers, and the silver wheels showed them off nicely, i thought. Maybe complimented the brightness of the yellow...?

Thanks for any feedback
I highly encourage you to leave the dials "neutral" ... and whatever you do dont make them yellow!

platinum is the right answer IMO ... black, silver or aurum will only highlight/clash with the yellow PCCB
So you are finally leaning towards PCCB - totally off topjc but what persuaded you?
The $8k upcharge for the STs. That's 2/3rds of the cost of a set of new front PCCB rotors. ($7k upcharge if i paint the pccb calipers black) My hotshoe tech told me wearing out rears is very unlikely.
I would also black the callipers out and keep the interior red. With the platinum wheels, it'll look amazing - you really read the wheel with this move see @TXshaggy 's car below for an example. Just take the yellow out the equation IMO, as long as you don’t care that other porsche people won't know you have pccb's LOL.
