Default Just powder coated and painted my calipers. What do you think??

Before and After. Powder coated metallic silver with oem yellow calipers. Also added 7/14 h&r spacers. Now just need to find a good deal on yellow seat belts.

Looks good with the blue paint.

Try looking at this company for exchanging your current seat belt webbing for yellow:
SafetyRestore.com

Well if you like it , that is all that matters. Yellow calipers signify PCCB so some will say your posing but it’s your car and you should do what you like with it. Does it stop any better now? 😛

Yea I’m not one of those Porsche dorks. I just like stylistic things. Personally a blue car with black wheels and red calipers is terrible so they had to be changed.

Blue calipers to match the car would have looked nice as well. Love the ducktail.

Thus the reason I had PCCBs put on my MB Targa GTS - Red calipers did not look good. However, I ordered Black calipers on the Racing Yellow Spyder I just ordered for the PCCBs.

^This is the entire reason I've held off on doing yellow calipers on my 991.
Although I usually don't care about what others think of my mods, this was one that has me a little conflicted. That being said, those look amazing. Maybe I'll look into it the next time I have to do a new set of tires.

You could order a 993 with yellow painted calipers from the factory, long before PCCBs were invented.

looks great!

i painted the black calipers on my 993 red because they were totally beat up and needed a refurbishing and red looks so much better.

They look great!

I know it has nothing to do with posing (CCBs). It's about aesthetics and what looks good and this look is perfect.

GL finding yellow seat belts. I looked everywhere and they're a fortune. I even looked to source them directly from Germany. By the time you pay shipping, it's not much of a savings at all vs. Suncoast.

Looks sharp! As much as I like my GT silver, sometimes I wish I had gone for something with a little color. I like the combo.

This guy will change the webbing if you send him the original belts/mechanism...
