Anyone with experience or even photos tell me how the yellow calipers hold up to dirt versus the other colors? To me, they look the best with my upcoming build but I’m concerned they will show dirty even with regular cleaning.

They don’t really look good in person, and I would agree they’re probably going to show more dirt than the black or edge red. The edge red honestly probably look the best with your exterior color choice, or skip the paid option and get them painted/powdercoated with C6 ZR1 blue

That's obviously a subjective opinion. I like mine and they clean up just as easily as the wheels do.

If you really keep the wheel area clean, they shouldn't be any harder than other colors to keep clean. Of course if you drive in the rain or other bad weather then any color can be a chore to keep clean.

After ceramic coating? Couldn't be easier and they really pop.

I love my yellow calipers. Do they get dusty? Sure they do, but who cares? Wash 'em, drive fast, smile and repeat.

Yellow calipers do just fine. If you take car of your car and wash it regularly they are no harder to maintain than any other color.

I saw this exact color combination yesterday and it is absolutely stunning. Yellow calipers make the package, best looking C8 I've seen.
