Thought about it for a long time...but chickened out! My AW Z51 vert will sport red calipers to blend with the few red accents on the car. My interior is Kalahari so that did not weigh in the balance.

I do not recall seeing on CF an AW with yellow calipers but you can build it on the GM configurator.

I never saw the combo and it may be because the combo looks so ugly that no one ordered it. White and red or white and black but no way yellow

That looks killer! One of our customers has a cyber grey Camaro SS with yellow calipers and that combo really pops as well.

If I was a fan of the black wheels I would have ordered the yellow calipers, it looks great in that combination for sure. Since I am not I went with the completely plain look of red on my AW Z51 Coupe.

Thanks Promind for the picture, does look really nice. I have been thinking either night race blue or white with chrome wheels. Could be sharp looking with the white and yellow calipers The black wheels look awesome but I guess I have too much gray hair for that combo according to my 21 year old son!

According to my wife we don't need kids because I more than make up for a couple of them. I know what your son is saying and I'm only 43 (stressing the only).

You're taking styling cues from a generation that walks around with their *** hanging out?

The only problem with Yellow Calipers is that they tend to accumulate dirt and soon it almost becomes impossible to remove, Red not so bad

SO TRUE! Never take styling cues Of Any Kind from anyone that has their pants down below their butt.


Never thought about the Yellow and brake dust build up and eventually being almost permanent. HMM, something to think about.

I you wash your car every week--that's not an issue. Red calipers get dirty as well--nothing a little car wash won't handle.

I agree. Most people forget about anything other than the face of the wheel when they are cleaning though. A good wheel brush makes a big difference for washing w/o removing the wheels.

With performance brakes you should have performance wheel cleaner, to eat up all that brake dust. My yellow calipers looks brand new!
