Yeah I know I love the Matte Black Porche's with the yellow...I just wanna try something diff than the usual red. Think the yellow and blue would mix with the saph blue...Just my opinion though.

Just what I've seen!

Max, I have seen several sets of yellow/gold calipers for sale on the MBworld site. I am tempted to try that... but I found a set of C32 AMG calipers and rotors and they are silver. I may paint my current calipers yellow and put them on the SSB when I finally get the C32's.

I know! I know! And Brembo offeres their kits in yellow too.

I was just sayin'...

I think AMG is supposed to be silver- a bit blah. Kind of like you just keep the steel really clean.

But yellow will definitely look great with SSB.

IMHO

Hell, I don't even have any AMG stuff and here I am spouting my opinions.

My bad.

You are cool my friend!....I did think about doing silver with the red lettering. If only I knew how to photoshop a SSB Coup and yellow out the calipers and yellow slasher stripe it to get a better idea.

Load up a high resolution pic (side view) of your car and try MS Paint. Crude, but it will give you some idea.

Or ask here on the forum. Some folks are pretty talented AND willing to help out.

Some.

I purchased AMG caliper decals from this Ebay vendor: Mercedes Benz AMG Brake Caliper Decal Sticker Set of 5:eBay Motors (item 170340706674 end time Jul-04-09 10:01:06 PDT)

I painted the calipers red and with the AMG decals, they look great! I'll take a photo and post this weekend.
