Default Photochopper Needed

I'm wondering if someone can help me pick out a color for my calipers. Choices are red (mag red to match the car), yellow, or other. You can do it on my sig pic.

Thanks!!!

Closest thing I've seen to mag red - thanks for the pics. I do like it; I was afraid I wouldn't love the red on red, but it is nice.

Can anyone photochop me one with yellow calipers?

Sorry not the computer guy that's for sure.
With your ext. color I don't think yellow is in your best interest, but that's just my opinon. I painted the rotors black, With a clearcoat, they are so much nicer when clean now. The fluted ports and hub don't have that nasty rusty look any more. Corvette pilot P/C the calipers mont. red. I am not saying match the caliper to the body color, I just can't see yellow on your car. Or you could buy the Porche

From your other thread, where I thought you had Monterey Red, I can also tell your powdercoater how to do them in mag red if you want/ You might also consider black.

Not for me. In these parts, and I'm not saying everywhere, but in these parts, Porsches are for posers. You know what I mean. Besides, I'm turning my garage into an all american garage.

Then again, maybe I'll buy a Cayman and cruise on up to that restaurant you hang at.

Thank you! I like the way you did your yellow C6, especially the hood stripes. Quiet and classy. The red calipers on yellow are kinda the opposite, if you think about it, of this chop.

Opinions, please!

I was not serious on the P car comment that was an interesting afternoon with the Cayman, right or wrong, I will literly never forget that day I sent my calipers to corvettepilot fedex ground on a monday, and they were at my doorstep in 72 hours AWESOME service, I could not believe it. I highly recommend mike Yeah, I know what you mean, a Porsche in PB county Gee never saw that, and in Boca, I am sure it's even worse
