Can you get Yellow calipers on a carrera S?

I am just curious, i did not see it avalaible on Porsche's site. But instead of the red calipers can you have yellow calipers with out getting the PCCB?

My dealership quoted me $799. So I bought the paint and the decals from them and did it myself. Looks pretty damn good...if I do say so myself.

Porsche had the option of yellow calipers on the late 03 and 04 modles but the price was $3800!!! Better do it aftermarket

Board memeber SANDOVAL here specializes in refinishing/powdercoating calipers with PORSCHE on them...declas suck and do not belong on an 80K P-car (no offense)

I think the price is because it is a TT...
For example, colored seatbelts are like 800 on the TT and 1600 on the CGT even though there are no rear belts in the latter!!

Sandoval did my calipers. And it was a hell of a lot less than that! Came out great and turn around time was pretty quick. He's got a core set, so you just pick your color, he mails them out, and then you send yours back. Only hiccup is if the 997 calipers are different than the 996 calipers.
