Silver or PCCB Yellow Calipers
My new 355/328 stoptech brakes should be here shortly, and I'm trying to decide if I have the calipers repainted before install. They are currently silver, but I'm strongly considering having them repainted PCCB yellow. Some people think they are too loud, and I'm on the fence. Opinions?

I'd go red to match your tail lights.
I've always found it that yellow looks almost too weird, especially if nothing else on the car isn't yellow.
Edit: I voted for silver btw.

Thanks - red is definitely out of the question for me because it's not my taste with pewter. I forgot to mention that I'd get some interior work done with yellow deviated stitching.

Silver = more elegant
Yellow = more sporty
I prefer silver though... Hey Eli, do you know any place in the bay area to do a custom interior for a reasonable price?

'06 E350 Iridium Silver with pano
If you have the yellow interior stitching, then go yellow. However, to help you decide, maybe you can take a do shop photoshop editing on several digital photos. This will help give you an idea what it would look like.

I actually did the PS pic long before I ordered them - not exactly the same brakes but close enough. I'm leaning towards leaving them silver actually...
