Yellow or Red Calipers?
Hey guys, I plan on painting my calipers soon but I cannot decide on which color. What color do you guys think would look best on my car. It's a Seal Gray Cab with a Black top.

I painted mine over 18 months ago and they are holding up VERY well! Cost $25 - $30 including the PORSCHE lettering.

red...goes great with grey....and I painted mine about 2 years ago and they still look great, like Tim said about 25 bucks! and as long as you leave your microscope at home....you will NOT see the difference.
I think the powder coated ones brakes better!

I think....black is faster....and even when it isn't you can't tell because you can't see it!

Red - it is faster and adds at least 5 hp between 2.5K and 3.5K rpms.
Mine are painted red - black car and they look great to me.
