Ditto on the garage commets, are you using Race Deck tiles?

I voted for red as well the reason being is the contrast against the black is just enough. The yellow is already the primary color, accent the car completely with a touch of red.

NICE!!!

Yes on the red calipers. Yellow calipers only look good on dark colored cars IMHO.
I might have added red seat belts too. The GT3 seats with yellow backs is very sharp! Maybe paint the seat belt guides silver? I saw a Club Sport in the GT3 forum with that mod.

btw, your garage cabinetry is really nice who makes it?

On your car without a doubt YELLOW. You seem to have a theme going so why not stick with it.

Thanks guys keep the comments coming... I am leaning toward the Yellow the more I look at them.

Seat Belts are Yellow now. They came optioned with the car. I prefer Red Seat belts especially if I did the Calipers in Red. However the Yellow theme might stick.

Tiles are made by Snaplock (RaceDeck) for Costco (Motofloor) I purchased it when it was on sale for about $1.75 Sqft hence the Black, white and grey the only colors it comes in. I love the flooring! White gets dirty however cleaning them is a peice of cake.

Cabinets are from Sears (StackOn) they are well made and quite reasonable. Especially when looking at Gladiator or others. I am 100% satisfied with the choice.

I think red generally looks better with silver alloy wheels, but yellow works better with black wheels. It depends on your approach, I suppose. With your speed yellow, red will be an accent color, whereas yellow will tie in better with the overall theme. Yellow with black lettering would be my vote.

Go with RED. Yellow calipers on a yellow car doesn't look right to me. The red calipers gives it a nice accent... to my taste.

Red. Would be a nice accent to your yellow p-car and black wheels. You really set the bar high with your garage! Okay, so now I'm inspired to get my garage all sorted out before my C4S gets here.

Red on the left, yellow on the right. But not the other way around. That would be just plain tacky.

Red, for sure. Black, in fact, would look better than yellow- much better.

You have so much yellow already, that yellow brakes make your car look like a toy or something, and it looks like you are taking the modding thing way too far. The "hey everyone, look at me" look is kinda cool sometimes, but it usually ends up looking just way over the top.

Hum this is hard, I LOVE red calipers but I honestly think yellow would be better on your car, I think what ever you do make sure the decals are black...

I voted for red. You don't have accent colors: yellow is the theme color and black is a "non-color". Add a subtle touch of red, somewhat hidden in the black of the wheels, and the yellow will pop at you even more. Actually, I think that it will even make the black of the wheels more of a color than it currently is.

OMG, that garage! To die for!

I'd say, in my unknowledgeable opinion, that a little splash of red may just do the trick......
