Default need opinions. painting my truck

I have a 02 pewter silverado. My plan is a complete change of color to victory red. I'm adding a cowl hood, esky handles, sport mirrors, paint matched grill and upper bumper pad. And will have silver stripes on the hood following the lines of the cowl. I just want some opinions on how yall think it'll look and if I should add anything while I'm at it. Thanx.

No 2 tone for me and I'm sick of pewter. I'm going through with what my plan is now. Just wanna know if I'm missing anything I should do.

Id leave it pewter, Not to mention victory red paint is ridiculous expensive compared to others. But will look good if you do go that route.

I don't mind people looking, it's the cops that are able to spot me from a mile away.

have owned red vehicles, they look great but I just don't like the added attention from the people that want to give me tickets

regardless, your truck OP. My opinion doesn't mean jack LOL
