Default PCCB - Pop or No Pop

I have always felt that Porsche deliberately made PCCB in yellow PCCB calipers to clash and love it that way . I am not a yellow fan . I see yellow seat belts for stitch as no way . However I love the way traditionally PCCB have popped to reveal themselves . Outside of Carmine or Guards red where it reminds me of the McDonalds logo I love how it goes with every other color . I even recall a time where people painted their steel brakes to look like PCCB . However now offers a gloss black option to tone it down .

I have seen both and everyones taste is different . I have never.seen a consensus . Vote .

!) Yellow
2) Black
3) All depends on the color but mostly yellow
4) All depends on the color but mostly black

I’m the same as you. Outside of reds and bright greens or oranges I always like the yellow PCCB. Say that as someone who generally does not like yellow

If I had a no cost choice I would greatly prefer the black. Hate to say this because I know it has the potential to incite an internet riot but I think many get them in yellow just to up their "baller" status. I'm well beyond the desire to care about what others think of me. To each their own. Cheers!

Depends on color. I had yellows on my black car and blacks on my green car.

I voted for yellow except when car color would. not match.

To the point someone made that people get it just for show..well, look what car color people choose - bright yellow, red, sparkling blues, orange etc. Also, most super cars come in bright popping colors..so, it’s all part of the show and yellow brake calipers is the least concern that it may look flashy.

maybe a fifth option: have them custom painted to match to your car color and you can decide how much you like it to pop. I don’t have PCCB’s but that’s the route I took. I for sure avoided yellow so people don’t thinks it’s PCCB.

One has 2 choices so that how I worded it ..

I wil go a diep further ..if I am ordering PCCB I will only pick a color that I feel works with yellow . Even though I chose "depends on the color " I myself would omit a color because of that one feature .

Well, yes, you asked for 2 color choices but you made your own poll with 4 choices ;-)
But it looks you answered your own poll question already?

If I could get PCCBs in red (without CXX), I would.
