See never ask the board for a build opinion. You have to live with it remember who's writing the check. (: good luck. By the way have seen metallic white in person it looks really good.

Live on Long Island- work in the city. Maybe a few track days a year.
Are carbon rotors a no go on bumpy streets? Didn't think they'd be that delicate.

I feel that if you do the ceramic brakes, you need to stay away from red inside the cabin. That's obviously a personal opinion. I originally had white gauges, but decided against it based on what I read on the site and seeing pictures.
Agreed. Going with my original choice. Skipping the PCCB and sticking with white and red theme!

Maybe it's just me but, brakes aren't something I'd pick based upon color. Purpose, performance, purchase cost, un-sprung weight, replacement costs, dusting, yes. Color, no.

Dan (thinks you made a good choice, for a funny reason)

Buy whatever brakes you like. They are on the outside of the car. Wouldn't worry about trying to match something inside with the brakes.

I definitely agree that I wouldn't pick brake type based on color of calipers...
But I do think that seatbelt should be black or if a color, match the brake calipers. That's a fairly common thing, I think... but regardless, its my thing

Silver belts for me.

This is so easy. PCCBs, silver stitching if you go for the leather upgrade, standard dials and then choose between silver and yellow belts. Why would you want to grossly pimp out a nice car??

The 3d configurator is your friend in this case. I assume you know, but it doesn't work in google chrome.
