Default Red Truck, blue calipers?

Do you think it would look good. I'm thinking of painting my MGP caliper covers blue and putting a Mopar decal on them. I saw this Corvette at a local car show and it gave me the idea.


I know, I know, my truck aint no ZR1 Corvette, but I am just looking at the color scheme. Thoughts??

Bud, you need a brow across that front glass and you need some retro'd head lights if you wanna get real nasty..

Color matched lights would look awesome on that red truck...

Something like this in red...

No no. He's pulling apart the head lights and painting the inside not the shield. He also puts in projector lenses while there.

The headlights interest me. So, is this guy selling these, or is it a DIY project? I've thought a few times about messing with the headlights, but the idea of baking them scares the crap outta me. With my luck I'd melt the headlight and burn down the kitchen.
