I was worried about this on my GT4, but no issue in reality. And if you track the car enough the calipers will darken to perfectly match the Carmine paint

This answer. Red callipers with brake dust will look closer to Carmine than Carmine callipers with brake dust. Nothing to worry about here.

Calipers are Indian Red if I'm not mistaken. So even Guard Red is not a perfect match...
Red Calipers are a good fit for pretty much all the colors IMHO!!

991.2 GTS launch spec. Good enough for the Porsche marketing/design geniuses, good enough for me. Looks superb. Also, looks nice with PCCB.Name:  photo767.jpg

No - The color is so rich and nice you will ruin it with Graphics -not kidding; and some will disagree. I will post pictures of my GT4 tomorrow and you will see. CR is already so bold that by adding graphics you take away from such a beauty.

If you get sick of it after a year then go nuts w/ graphics
