I went black mainly because it keeps the focus on the wheels. Red distracts the eye.

When I joined many years ago, reading the critique my build threads was a nice way to learn about the many options Porsche offers before shelling out cash to learn on your own.

Yep. People usually pay to have colored calipers, monochrome wheel caps, and blacked out window trim. Porsche people pay for the opposite.

$900 for black calipers? Shoot, just run down to the local Ace Hardware and you can buy a can of Rustoleum for $4.99. 🤪

This right here is why I went w black on my Carmine Red GTS.

also, the S/T has black

I didn't do the clear tail lights - so I've got red accents on my car by default - so I think the red calipers look nice. In fact, I was just looking at them today.

However with the GTS black wheels (why they make you get black wheels is beyond me), I agree with the above - the black calipers make the black wheels look even worse (as if that was possible)

I feel like I'm wasting money by spending $900 to spec black calipers on GTS. The exterior color is Gentian Blue with some yellow interior accents (seat belts) - not that the interior matters.
I think blue with red calipers is quite overdone but I also think spending $900 just for paint color sounds too much, from a value perspective.


Obviously on $170K, $900 doesn't matter.


clearly it does matter, it matters a lot to you, you made an entire post about it with $900 in the topic and mentioned $900 500 times.

This is definitely the correct look to my eyes. The red will detract from the wheels themselves, especially on a Blue car. Just my .02 cents.

Damn - I thought Canadians tend to be nice eh? guess not.

They are nicer in the summer I've found.

If you don't like the red, just don't wash them. They'll be black in no time. lol.

Red to me is just the classic sports car look. Shows that you mean serious business.

Just kidding of course, but I do prefer red.

Black for me, or yellow if I had PCCB. Total personal preference though. Whatever the preference, if it were the color I least preferred it would bother me every time I looked at the car, so I feed the Porsche margin!

Personally, I like black with Gentian blue but black does not stand out at all (of course) so you kind of forget about the brakes being black entirely after a few months - red would get a little more eyes or attention towards the wheels.

Porsche 505

Black for sure!
