Red looks best IMHO because your car is black and becasue of the red in the tail lights balances better with the red calipers.

I was thinking the yellow really brings out the yellow in your eyes.... but on second thought stick with silver as it is different from the norm and requires no effort, or RUF blue if you are dying to change it...

My vote is one of each, different color in every turn....

I though you sold your Porsche for a Japan made car.

Surely it would be wrong to have yellow as this is the PCCB colour. I think keep your silvers, they look very nice as they are.

LOL, shame on who ever brought it back from the dead!!!!

But since I don't want to waste the opportunity, why don't we just call it a day and go with YELLOW, well at least that was the vote after viewing this picture taken in our shop:

Anybody found a place to buy the "Porsche" decals for the calipers? There used to be a place called Zinks ( I think) that carried them, but Porsche NA told them to cease selling them.
