i think the brake caplipers look great. i would pick the same color even if a Honda civic happens to have the same. we are do little things to make our cap special, and who is to judge except us.

keep up the good work!

oh, if you guys are going to get together in LA, let me know. my car is bone stock, but would love to get some pics if you guys don't mind.

Yea my original plan included the cargraphic lip. I waited 2 months but nothing came out of it through cargraphic so I cancelled the order and went a different route. My car is lowered on PSS9's at the lowest setting so I was afraid of destroying a 1700.00 piece of carbon fiber. For the the same price price I got the Rinspeed front lip and rear diffuser.

Yes that's a great deal...both for 1700 is very good considering I saw a CF lip ( I do not remember the make ) which was about 1600...you did the right thing!
I just saw both pieces on the Rinspeed website and they look very nice...their steering wheel in something exclusive!

And if your intent was to not paint your calipers the same color as the PCCB's, then why choose a lambo color for a p-car???? Why not red, or silver or friggin blue if an aesthetic upgrade is what you were going for...
Gimmie a break, Yellow calipers arent the universal code for PCCB...
People have been doing yellow calipers before PCCB ever existed. You know what they say, If you havent got anything good to say ... STFU ??? or something like that

Dont listen to the hater, Car looks great man.

Hater ?? - I don't think so pal. Yellow IS the universal code for PCCB's when you're talkin about 997's. And last time I checked, the car in pics is a 997.

yellow also comes on brembo's from brembo on the GT kits which are NOT PCCB's *ie Rinspeed INDY in my sig...V35 your car looks awesome...keep it up.

I'm talkin about what comes from the factory. You guys can make any excuses you like - fact is that yellow calipers on a 997 mean PCCB. I don't care what shade of yellow you paint them...it's still poser.
