Default Thoughts?

Thinking of doing a little something different to my truck. First thing my first ford was destroyed last year on 4/30 when a high school kid rear ended me at a stoplight doing 40.
This was my 08

I now have a Shadow Black 16 and have been adding touches of race red in honor of my old truck. Gloss black and matte red ovals on front and back, Lariat SE badges on the fenders
I was thinking of adding a little more red to the grille with something like this, please excuse my poor P/S skills

What do you all think? Yes or No?

It's a cool personal flare weather someone else loves it or not. I personally like it. Possibly red mirror caps to tie it all together.

Nooo. Don't do it. It looks cheap and horrible. Such a beautiful truck. Don't muck it up. The small touches are nice. The grill would be too gaudy.

Plus, the red clashes with the orange lights.

I think the red accents are nice but the grill is overboard, like something that high school kid that hit you would be driving. Was he on a cell phone?

Not sure, I think he was, he said his brakes failed. He was driving this Volvo

They both walked away, not even a scratch.

Would leave it as is. Sometimes less is more. Looks clean as is. If you really wanna try it use plastidip so you can remove it. Could also try with red plastidip pit stripes and or racing stipes. But personally I would leave it

Yeah the more I look at it, the more I just want to leave it alone.
