This car has the optional painted brake calipers (MY2005/2006 starting Jan '05 production) that can be had in either red, black, or silver instead of the standard speed yellow for US$5,000.
I ordered red ones for my Signal Yellow paint-to-sample car because I didn't want clashing colors of yellow on my car.

Call me traditionalist but I think red looks best, for any body color

Speed yellow with red calipers should look very agressive and sporty, what interior color did you choose?

Why do Americans have that stupid obligation to have orange signal lights or reflectors on the side of their cars anyway, it is so ugly, just like those awful looking bumperettes.
Safety?

I personally like the darker yellow (signal is it?), its more elegant or serious than the lighter one IMO.

The dealer tech crew referred to the car as the "school bus", since the Signal yellow paint reminded them of the yellow color used everywhere in the USA for student transportation
Generally, "car people" seem to really like it. Other sorts of passers-by are not always amused.

One of my graphic-designer aquaintences and his friend concluded that Signal yellow on a Porsche was the "perfect design statement", but could not bring themselves to actually own a Porsche that color. They couldn't stand the thought of the constant attention it might bring.

US laws require a yellow reflector on the front side so that the car is visible when parked at night to oncoming headlight say on a unlit neighborhood street at a T-intersection. The euro "clear" side markers are not reflectorized and are only " yellow " when the bulb is turned on and thus invisible in the above mentioned scenario.
