Default What color Calipers for Black 993?

Cant make up my mind on the color I want to do for my calipers.

Here is what im thinking so far........

1. Yellow
2. Burnt Orange
3. Silver

What do you think?
Any other Suggestions? (not red or black PLZ)

Here is a pic of the Orange.

Well to me if you had yellow ones I would think that is was suppost to be an AWD. Yellow ones are the new ceramic rotors and Orange??? BUT it is your car.

Do you have a pic of your car? I think it kind of depends on the personality and the color of the wheels.

I ment silver.

I just love the 993 and hate to see people changing it from its OEM look. Also I really love the black ones. You asked for our input so I gave my 2 cents.

If you do change it from the factory look then I really liked the blue look with those wheels.

No and I am thankful for your input.
I just got confused with the yellow caliper thing but you straigtened me out.

Yea the Blue looks good but does anyone have a full picture of that car with blue calipers?

The car is 2007 Audi A4 S-line with Titanium package rims.
I had these wheels on my A4 Avant for couple of years (they were pain in the aß to clean).

I think Yellow or orange would look awsome. Pick YOUR favorite color and don't look back. I have a 350z to commute in and the calipers are gold. They look pretty good but I think a bright solid color would look better like you are thinking. I did red on my 993 race car and am thinking about doing red on my Jacked up jeep to match the diff covers I will put on. Just little subtle things that make the car your own.

Pics when done please...

I really like that blue but I think im almost there..............
at 99% sure right now. Leaning towards Yellow because I can get Yellow seatbelts to match!

Do you guys think Yellow belts would look good on Cashmere interior or Wierd?

I would do blue if someone can find blue belts to match for me. lol.

I'm asking myself the same question and I tend to lean towards the black on black as I already have.
I was thinking of red or yellow but I just see too much of that on jap cars now.
The stock look is classy, elegant and non pretentious.
