These are the titanium finished monoblock Brembo's on my R1 with red lettering -- they are nice but the best looking calipers are the gloss nickle finish Brembos with red lettering!!

yellow against seal grey is a great contrast... if you had silver I'd say go red... either way you can't go wrong

They are already black now but do not stand out.
As of now I'm leaning towards yellow unless I see a blue that can convince me.

"Just" calipers would be "BLING"...! Like adding ONLY coffee can exhaust tips.

You would need to at least add front, side, and rear spoilers for the LOUD calipers to be recognized otherwise.

You could actually order a 996 from the factory with calipers painted in the color of your choice. I know there's a rennlister with a 996 C4S that has yellow calipers that were ordered from the factory.
