Yellow brake calipers??

So, the finish on my brakes is not looking very good....in talking to Andial (which is close to my work) he told me that they can send them out to someone who does factory quality work at reasonable prices, make them look like new again.....sounds good.........but then I got to thinking...I have a GT2 front and rear.......should I go yellow on the calipers? It would look great.....Or is that too much like I am trying to fake a GT2?

who cares, you dont have a GT2 logo in the back... still a turbo right? then it's cool IMO

Ha! No, that's the first thing that came off when I got it home (the GT2 emblem)

it would be perfectly fine. My friend got a 996 coupe last year that had factory painted yellow calipers. NOT ceramic, just painted yellow (its actually a $3,400 option!). Go for it! Make sure you post pics too!
