    Not sure if spending $1600 to have a color caliper is a good buy but before I make my decision, does anyone have a picture of a standard color caliper so I can see how it looks?

    The great Ferrari mystery

    Why does it cost $1600 to paint the calipers shiny black instead of matte black?

    Then again, why does it cost $800 to put in a white tach instead of a yellow one? :)

    These mysteries and who really built Stonehedge will be explained in Leonard Nimoy's: "In Search of unknown mysteries".

    I think this is the first I've seen of standard painted calipers. Thanks for posting.

    If those are standard, I see no reason to order more expensive colored ones.

    Those are gorgeous!

    +1 never understood why anyone would want to draw attention to the callipers and draw the eye away from the line of the car. Why not yellow wipers?

    Why not a big yellow shield on the fender?
