OMG - how was I able to sell my first GT4??
It was sapphire blue with yellow stitching, yellow belts, yellow stripe on steering wheel and standard cast iron brakes with red calipers!
Looked perfectly fine from both the inside and the outside. LOL

^ agree, weird requirement, like shoelaces having to match pupil color. Good thing for OP is this is a perfect buyers market for this car.

That's terrible. Sorry that happened to you, I've been in similar situations multiple times.

Sign from above you belong in a Spyder instead =]

Nope. Brake lights don't match the calipers. It looks horrible!

GT4s without PDLS in black are terrible vehicles. Disgusting!

I've landed on a buying a GT4 about as far away from LA as I could get in the US haha. I'm flying out to Boston between two China work trips to buy George's GT4. I couldn't find a car that fit me better and thought I wouldn't let a quick flight and shipping hold me back.

Yellow calipers and platinum stitching isn't very matchy. That's what I have and I have been extremely self conscious about it since reading this thread...

I had a hard time finding silver calipers on a GT4 and it also doesn't have dual zone climate control, but in life there are always compromises. The good far outweighs the bad.
