Default Yellow Calipers
Had a decent day and decided to take a couple of photos of my 'poser' yellow calipers.

Alen - They look good! I, for one, don't think you are a "poser" 'cuz don't thinl you are trying to pass them off as PCCB's. Got any close-ups? Did you put black decals on them?

Actually yellow calipers were a factory option on 2003 C2's and I'm not talking about PCCB.

Thank God, now I'm only an 03 poser

Did find a caliper only photo. The paint is from the Tire Rack. It is a 2 part mix.

The letters are stickers. You can get them on eBay.

Vove - You can get the decals/stickers on line at http://www.xenonmods.com/. That is where I got my stickers when I painted my calipers red.

Sharp - the paint is holding up very well. I also sprayed a coat of Dupli-Color Clear coat over the stickers to help seal them. No problems with the paint coming off. You can check out the complete install with pics in the thread below:
