Not the most flattering pic of DSOM but I think the yellow calipers kind of work. Might be on to something here. Thanks for posting.

Black calipers for DSOM, any other color does not match.

Thanks Mike for following up. Wow, your car looks hot. I am also going with the Kalahari interior. Can you tell me how the yellow looks in person in contrast to DSOM? Are you 100% happy or would you change the color if you could? Any reservations at all?

Thanks Mike!

Car is great, I have about 100 Miles, this car is built for speed, I have got to watch it though, it really does want to run. Heads turn everywhere I go, then the thumbs up next. I really happy with the Color, today I picked it up and it was Sunny. What a color, strong and shows elegance like my wife says.
I read all the negative comments regarding build, paint job, hood not lining up. Not mine, it is perfect in every regard.
I do not have any regrets, I would choose this color again, the yellow calipers really look good. I can't wait for tomorrow, all the guys at work are going to be jealous.
Here is a photo of my wife with the car, i told her i have a great car and my own Vanna White lol.....

I am glad your car doesn't have the issues so many others have discussed. I wasn't sure about the yellow calipers but it looks great on your car. Feel free to share any and all pics of your car as it is almost exactly what I am getting. Are you planning any mods or changes? Happy for you man, and I am the first of many that will be jealous.

Love the DSOM! Personally might not have chosen the yellow calipers but regardless, your car looks fantastic. Congrats.

Black calipers with black wheels, some of you are not too adventuresome.

I kind of think the yellow ones actually work.

Amazing color...in my top 2 overall. Not sure about the yellow though, to each his own.

Why not? Orange is a secondary color of red and yellow. Some are looking for contrast but the "conservative" wouldn't. Black is a neutral but safe color which can be boring for some. Nonetheless, some contrasts are a bit much for most. I don't think red and yellow is a good combination. I like yellow with green (again, green a secondary color of blue and yellow) as well as with neutral colors like white, black, or silver. Yellow is a very visible color and may draw more attention than you want.
