RED....I kinda agree...yellow means PCCBs...especially since its a Porsche.

I can see the exception to the rule with a yellow car...but otherwise RED.

You should have done a poll, I'd go with the yellow for your car...

Unfortunately I do not know of a shop, but you can do them yourself using the Dupli-Color caliper paint kit found at most automotive stores, a lot of people have done this and it lasts, and you do not need to remove the calipers.

I was involved in a group buy from a ebay seller that rebuilds them and powder coats the calipers, they look amazing, a bit more work as you do have to replace the entire caliper, but well worth it.

Actually, Red = Turbo/C4S "Big Reds"

Black/silver = stock Carrera

And while Huge yellow six pot calipers and the obvious rotors = PCCB, the color is still "Porsche" and - if you use it right - it looks cool.

Yeah what he said:

My Yellow calipers look great with my black wheels on my Yellow car and I am not trying to make it look like I have PCCB's, it's obvious they are not just from the size of the calipers and rotors. If I had used red, then I was bringing in a colour not in use anywhere else on the car, and black, which I had before yellow, did nothing for me. Tradition...well whatever, I don't think this is a break in tradition IMHO.
