Ha! Who was the guy that had the yellow 993 S that was almost as bad. I think atan888 bought the car and transformed it. That dude was a piece of work

I wonder if that dude's website is still up ... so funny.

Voted for redo in original but really like the blue in the pics. Looks amazing on a silver 993.

Right, that's what started all of this - I would say because you keep your car very clean and close to oem that the calipers should be black, but that being said, red would look nice. Any other bright colour on your calipers would really stand out - maybe too much?

I hear you. On the other hand, one concours attempt convinced me to just enjoy the car.

I'm really on the fence regarding the color, but one way or the other, I will remove the calipers and strip them. I owe them that much.

I'm a few weeks away from doing the same thing - so your thread is very timely, and I've been watching it closely. I was always thinking of red, but now I'm not so sure. My car is red and my wheels are going to be black - kind of going for a red and black theme (now who would you know with that colour combo - with an RS wing etc...?) It's got me thinking possibly yellow - just to stand out from the rest of the car... who knows...
