Default Colored calipers

Your thoughts? It seems that most of the C8s that we’ve seen on display have not had colored calipers. I wonder if maybe that is sorta becoming old school. I orderd Artic white with adrenaline red interior and bright red calipers but seriously thinking of going to black. Ive seen many pics of the ceramic gray ( or white) with the brilliant rims and black calipers and it really looks classy and balanced. Just wanted the forums thought. 🤔 thanks!

I like them colored. It’s a nice pop of color on the outside, especially with light colored exteriors. We are going ceramic matrix gray with morello red interior and edge red (darker red) calipers.

Mine is Arctic White and Black Calipers...No way Im paying $ 650 for red paint ..they have to paint them anyway ..it doesnt cost them any more to paint them red or black. sure its different and adds a little complexity to purchasing and ... as to pull red or black out of the box on the factory floor..... but $ 650 ??? come on ....its completely unreasonable...a couple hundo is a little less insulting...and I would consider that....
