Default 2011 Cayenne S - negative (gray calipers)

The one feature that I love about most aggressive Porsche models is the RED calipers. This is definitely a big miss on the Cayenne S in my opinion. Standard for the Cayenne S is in light gray. I will consider powder coating mine in RED at some point. Comments and suggestions please.

Paint vs Powdercoat
Decal vs Stencil

Pros and Cons for each, and have been discussed in other forums many times.

If you're going to do it, I would do it soon after delivery.

It does seem a bit strange that the Cayenne S has silver calipers, even though the brakes are essentially the same as the Turbo (at least on the first generation Cayenne). The brakes on my 996 C4S are red, just like the turbo...

I think it's a bit odd, but it doesn't bother me enough to change them. I'm fine with the silver brakes, as long as they stop the vehicle properly.

The turbo brakes are larger...
