Red car, silver twist wheels. I faithfully admit to having NO sense of style or color coordination.

I'll be taking my wheels off soon for new tires in front, and some work on the back. Want to paint my calipers, but don't know what color might look right with guards red, and silver wheels. I do not like black, silver, gray. Was thinking in the gold/copper area, but again - I have no sense of style.

Opinions?

 

Yellow... the Porsche community will love you for it. ha!

 

I looooooooveee GOOOOLD lol but I think gold or copper would be cool with the silver wheels.

I think if you had gold wheels it wouldn't look good, but on silver for sure. Just in case your like me and thinking of gold wheels.

 

B3 the yellow looks so good on these car's though...despite the PCCB wanna be look

Hmmmm, hadn't given a thought to yellow, but I like it. Since I have scallop drilled rotors it will give the impression of those big-buck brakes with only the cost of a rattle can. Fits me perfect.

snort...

 

If you paint the caliper it denotes what kind of brakes you have. I assume you have black, a standard carrera . So if you go red/stock it will show you have a S with red brakes. If you go yellow it will say carbon/ pccb brakes. I think you can make people think its a S but i dont think anybody is going to believe you have pccb unless they go up and look all around it. Then they will see its not pccb brakes

 

996 didn't have a C2S (narrow body), only the C4S so most in the know will know it's not an S because it isn't a wide body, Red's were also for turbos or higher GT, TTS which are all wide body, aside from the GT3.

 

Can anyone tell me the size of the decals?

 

YELLOW WORKS. How about LIME GREEN

 

Gotta be red.

 

VERY hard to argue with this

 

Just a while guess but 90% of the public has no clue what RL, PCA or POC stands for let alone what color calipers mean.

Mod away.

 

Ding, ding, ding.

I'm shying away from red on a red car. Yellow looks like a winner.

BTW, what's with painting the SS tubing and brake fittings? Is that typical? I was going to mask off the fluid hardware and paint the housings. I'm going to go with yellow paint, some kind of hi temp clear, then blue stick-on "porsche" logo using the typical script the mfg uses with the wide letters..
