HELP Please

Hi. Have 996 Cab and need new brakes plus a few other things. I would like to replace with red or yellow calipers. Is it better to buy parts down in the USA and get work done there, as in Vancouver, BC the cost is 30-40% higher for parts and not sure who to trust with job in south surrey area (white rock).

Second item, when I go to start sometimes have to try 3 times before clutch engages starter. Not sure what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you're just looking to change the color of the calipers, you can buy caliper paint at an auto parts store, and decals online.

I agree with wyovino. I painted mine and got the decals on ebay. You would never know the car didn't come that way from the factory.

I agree with the suggestions to paint the calipers. Also, it sounds like your clutch switch is going out. It's fairly common.
