As disturbed as it is, I kind of like it. Especially because he also chose the red interior. The car as a caricature. It's nice when not everyone takes themselves so super-seriously. Basically, he holds up a mirror to all of us.
How did he get the calipers in red with PCCB?

Not sure why Matt didn't order them, I went looking for the details (I recall seeing/hearing him tell the story) but haven't located that yet.

Any chance you could share the raw data (e.g. in a spreadsheet). We could do our own various breakdowns....

I know who he is now as everyone keeps talking about his car but prior to this, I didn't have the faintest. So, although I know who he is for the last few months from these threads, I have never listened to his podcast or watched any of his reviews and I couldn't care less about his car or color choices.

Yes, they are Porsche PCCB's, the red calipers are compatible with the larger rotors with the appropriate pads and mounting hardware, Rick installed them when the car was in the shop for the engine and transmission upgrades, IIRC he had them on hand.

He didn't spec them because the option was off of the ordering list when the car locked down; just the same as my car. And a bunch of others in the forum; same goes with a lot of us and LWBs and PDLS+.
Supply chain forced some hands, and Matt found a way to get CCBs on his car that he was happy with.

He purchased a full PCCB take-off set from Deman and had the calipers powdercoated back to red. They're OEM and not re-used the stock steel calipers.

FWIW, the following is still true.

We like it, the color scheme is consistent and spread appropriately, it is unique and eye catching in a non "gold metallic vinyl wrap" sort of way... very nicely done Mr. Farah!
