I took the paint off. Both levers are made of Aluminium but the front one was black plated while the rear one was raw aluminium. I had not enough time to polish them and decided to plastidip them in black . They look great. If I scratch the front one, il will still look black...

(since a good pedal kit is over $100, is whould surely cost more, its more work) If there is enough interest I could do some legwork and try to get a cost proposal out with colors and options...(not to jack your thread, if you want me to remove this, I will)

The pictures don't do this justice.

A bit off topic, but what color is your interior? Looks nice, would love to see more of the interior with that color an carbon fiber. Bear in mind that the weight of the added decal is going to counterbalance the gains from CF

Thanks! Yes, I agree about the sticker and carbon fiber weight trade off.Lol

It's Boxster Red, although it looks more terracotta. It has really grown on me.

love color combo. A little suspension drop would complete the look. Nice car.
