My C2 997.1 came with a red painted caliper option.

I like red painted calipers regardless of if they're real Big Reds.
I feel yellow to be reserved just for PCCB's.
Me too. Couldn't care any less what anyone thinks. Not trying to pretend my car is an S, they just look great with guards red. . Cracks me up that some people consider this poseurish..........

Not sure why it cracks you up. People modify their cars to disguise them as better than they really are all the time. Google "fake ///M badges" as a famous example.

Because I find it funny that people CARE what someone else does. M badges........so what? How does that affect your life? Its funny to me.

I'm with you: IDGAF what others think!
Anyway, one can order the 992 with different color calipers and many others such as the Corvette and Land Rover Velar (we are considering the one with the V8 of course) has a choice of Red or Black.
^Nice. Velar is spectacular Bob. Think I'll send my car in over the winter to have brakes painted. Did the last two and they were beautiful.
Do it, it will look great.
We drove the F Pace SVR last weekend and the V8 is sweet but the Velar is more plush inside and with the same engine it should be real sweet. I was sold on the new G Wagon but my wife was not and since she will be the primary driver she gets the final say.

Actually the term Poseur originated in the 19th century and peaked in the early 1900's; before even the first Porsche or Poseur VW.
Any issue with a car sitting on jack stands for 2-3 wks while waiting for calipers to be painted?
You will be ok, but ideally you want to re-install the wheels and let the car sit on the wheels, it may be extra work but it's a safer way, don't forget try to flush the brake fluid properly after installing the calipers, since the brake system normally is a closed system, once it's open you can have moisture creeping into the fluid.
