All,

First of all thank you for all the compliments! I am thoroughly enjoying this car! It feels good to be driving a stick! It has that Je ne sais quoi thing you know compared to DSG's, etc..

The only thing I could do down the road is change the calipers to be RED or GREY (body color) as I have red stitching in the car. So I cannot change the belts to Yellow.

I am hesitant on changing the caliper colors as the yellow highlights they are PCCBs which I like

Yes! Grey, even better than black. Those who know, know PCCB, those who don't who cares?

You can still tell PCCB by the rotor right? You may think about silver calipers to tie into the wing uprights.

I am looking for a shop to do this.

I would do Grey (body color) with black script. That's the look I want

Looks good!

I think I'm the first to ask, but how does it compare to your 997.1?

Try red calipers, and rather than porsche just put RS on the calipers in the same script as your body decal in black, or yellow if you want to represent PCCB.

Why don't you just have the msrp+mod cost on your calipers?

So we had the Roll Bar painted to match the body color and it came out soo bad (not even close!! ), so I decided to get it done in black instead. I think that will look best with the theme I was going with anyways! Got Red Schroth Harnesses and Sharkwerks Red Fire Extinguisher as well.

Car should be done by Friday!!

I cannot wait and find time to hit the track in May!

I like the body color roll bar, but it might not match the interior as nicely as black. I still have to see my first grey RS in person.

You and me both, no BBS arriving tomorrow, so I will miss this weekend, the next event is Sebring 15+16...

For any other color then the Grey, the body color to me makes the most sense but after looking at the grey bar inside the car and the theme, Black is the cleanest/safest solution for me.

I also ordered some cool Track numbers that I'll put on the car!

keep the PCCB Yellow! that's the icon color, the color it should be in + it contrasts the car really well.
