Brake Color sugguestions

I have another post on the rear bumper and since the car will be at the body shop. I would like to paint the brakes. Not sure what color. I am considering Yellow, Red or Electric Blue with yellow porsche letters

Have you tried asking the guys on a Civic board? They are pretty color coordinated when it comes to "blinging" out their rides.

Do the yellow, it'll look great on your car. A friend of mine ordered a speed yellow cab with yellow brakes from the factory, a few years ago, and it looked so good.

I see the Red is starting to catch up with the yellow. I am leaning towards Red because it will contrast with the body color of yellow.

Even though most of the responses were yellow, I decided to go with red. I also had a C4s rear bumper installed. I will post the pics as soon as I get the car back. Prob. next week.

Robert,
Your car looks great. What rear bumper did you use and was it a ***** to prep. I love those HREs

Neil,
Thank you; The Bumper is from
Anziano's (714) 979-7040 in cali. (they also have a web site)

Bob (the owner) and Shawn were great to work with. I would highly recommend them. The bumper was not a ***** to install, just a little misc. mods to the existing heat shields by hand.
