    My yellow 355 currently has red brake calipers and I think she looks pretty hot.
    However I have been looking at the offerings from StopTech for a BIG brake upgrade and see that yellow calipers are an option.

    So what color do my fellow ferrari brothers like on yellow cars?

    I agree Erick. I think the red gives it a nice splash of brilliant color. But then again, I have red calipers on my red car, so what do I know....

    Yellow still looks great on yellow cars to me.

    I agree with Harry. And, pink would match my "Hello Kitty" license plate frame!

    +1, Only if you could mill off that Stop Tech logo and add the Ferrari logo.

    You need to talk to Greg (M5Guy). He's the brake expert especially on Stop Tech and has a set on his car.

    I've asked him about them before. He verified the standard 4 piston ones will fit under the stock rims.
    Just need to find an extra $5k.

    Right, Robb. A brake upgrade should look the part as does the brembo upgrade on the F355 Challenge.
