Red Caliper on 997C2 :)
Today, I finally installed red caliper on my 997C2.
I got the red calipers taken from Cayman S which are exact same spec as the one on 997C2. Here are the part numbers I used.
996.351.426.11 Right front
996.352.422.13 Right rear
996.351.425.11 Left front
996.352.421.13 Left rear
It fits perfectly on my black 997C2 and adds little accent of colors to it.
Cheers,
Heejin

Oh well... It wasn't cheap as you could imagine.
I bought those calipers from one of dismantler on the ebay for $950. It will cost around $1400 if you get the brand new parts from the dealership.
Anyway, I am planning to sell my old caliper on the ebay so I could recoup the cost a little

I like your solution and looks great!
Actual "S" brakes on your C2 - I am sure the Porsche painted parts are better (at least give better piece of mind) then if you tried to paint them and then suck as sticker or decal on the yourself.
Congrats again - how about a few more pictures?

I am buying P21S so I can clean those wheels. I will take more photos once I am done with detailing

I got these from Los Angeles Dismantler.(Ask for Richard) I think you could also get decent price from dC Automotive.
