So, I really want PCCB's (minimal brake dust) on my GT3 but I plan on ordering white with red interior accents (stitching and seat Belts).
Do you think that is a mismatch (yellow calipers)?
I know - real world problem. And I know getting PCCB's to avoid brake dust is silly but then again, me buying a GT3 is somewhat irrational anyway
Yes I do think it is too many and a personal pet peeve but plenty people get three or four different colors going. I would do your set up and get the calipers painted red for minimal $.

I think you might notice the two colours, and not in a good way. The suggestion to get the calipers painted red is a good one if you are committed to PCCBs. White with red accents is going to look fantastic. Good luck!
My GT4 had yellow stitching and red brake calipers. No body even noticed or cared.
It will look perfectly fine.
Or potentially they didn't say anything because they were being nice. I am just saying. Many of my friends pick colors and options that I don't like but I certainly just keep my mouth shut. Since he hasn't made the purchase yet I think he will get a more unbiased opinion instead of if he posted a pic of his already purchased car with white, yellow and red.
I'll go one further. I had a yellow GT3 with PCCB and red stitching and no one ever said a negative thing to me about it. I get it's not to everyone's taste, but I wouldn't worry about. Get what you like. It's not like Porsche gives options on caliper colors. I think it would be different then. I've seen some that have red brakes that I think would look better with yellow, but I understand someone not wanting to pay for PCCBs just for the yellow. When you're sitting in the car your not even gonna see the brakes.

I agree. To me the mismatch doesn't look right but it's always great to hear this forum's opinions which sometimes make me see things differently.
So, thanks for the feedback!
My 991 GT3 was SBM with PCCBs and red belts/stitching. Looked great. From the outside you can't see the red and vise versa on the inside. I would do it again in a heartbeat having had red, yellow, and grey interior accents. The red holds up the best to use and wear.

Yeah, because the internet is just full of unbiased opinions 😉
I get what your saying and don't disagree. I'm sure some folks didn't say something because they were being nice just like you wouldn't say something because you want to be nice. I do the same thing. I think that just points out how everyone has different taste when it comes to these "style" choices, so to that point, I'd say get what YOU like and what YOU think looks best. Don't worry about what all us think.
