Default Finalizing my order before Nov 25th

991 GT3 with yellow PCCB calipers, red stitching and yellow seat belt OK? Anyone has picture of this combo? Currenlty I have PCCB, red stitching and red seat belt and then I saw this picture and think yellow seat belt would match much better but dont wanna change the red stitching as I have seen it in person and its pretty cool. Don't care for gray stitching. Help please

IMO that would be weird. Since you are married to the red stitch, what about red belts? There's no law that the belts have to match calipers, but there is a law that the belts have to match the stitching (or be black).

I sold my red last yr and love to have it again my friend but I kept getting pulled over by cops doing 68MPH in 65MPH zone etc. I have never been pulled over like I did on that car. It gets everyon attention LOL o

Either yellow belts, PCCB and normal stock stitching, or red belts/red stitching and PCCB. You can't mix the two, it would like ketchup and mustard. I went with yellow belts, PCCB and stock stitching. Had the same thoughts as you for awhile.

stock stitching is gray? I agree with you, can't mix them as much as you want to. The red stitching looks sooooo good though, perhaps on the next car. I like the belt to match the calipers. Gray stitching, PCCB, and yellow belt will work.

Just get the standard brakes. All the colors will match and you save over $9k. Simple.

+1.

I would always aim to avoid the McDonalds look with the red and yellow inside!

Alternatively, stick with the PCCBs and paint them red...

Hi silverrules, why do you take the PCCB at all? Honestly no need........even the Cup Cars are now without the PCCB. Anyhow your choice. I took the normal brakes (red), have red seat belts and res stitching.......looks superb. If you keep the PCCB then of course take the yellow seat belts and leave the stitching in grey. Have fun...:0)

The only reason for PCCB is all that brake dust. I have a black .2 GT3 with STD brake. I wash the car and after one arrun the rims are all dirty again, but ya $9K for that alone is stiff. I have few more days to make the change. I love the red stictching though. Saw red sticthing on a 997TT-S and it was cool.

When I sold my TT with the PCCB the $9K brakes did not add any to the bottom line. So I know I wont get that back when I sell my car. uuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

These rims are platinum from the factory to begin with so, the dust will be less of an issue. You can also get them painted black. The PCCB is a pure waste of money - I haven't heard any compelling argument for it.

I hear you guys. Save the $9K I guess and it will all then match. Red belts, calipers and stitching. I bet the sales guy wont be happy. Thanks for al the feedback. You guys are awesome.
