I tried putting some blue around the calipers to mock what it would look like, and they virtually disappeared, so I am gonna leave them red - pictures do no justice - in person they POP and set the truck off nicely.

EXACTLY!!! Glad your not gonna color match them, and if you do... go silver, same as the top color so that they still pop. But the best look is leaving them red for sure!!

I'd run the silver as well. The Blue I can see as being a tad too dark and not "popping" anymore.

I had a detail today, lots of cool pics, to tired to DL/UL them tonight, plus i couldnt bring the truck outside for finished pics... wax was still curing.

Tomorrow!!

no intake comments?! lol

another teaser -

pre-detail
The intake looks awesome!! I don't think I've posted up once about your truck yet, although I have followed the thread very closely. You've done an AMAZING job with the truck! You're attention to detail is sick...I admire that tremendously. Jealous isn't even the word to describe the feeling crawling through my skin right now...YOU HAVE ONE PHENOMENAL, DEAD SEXXY TRUCK MY FRIEND!!

That's possible, last I heard he was making 13psi @ 70% throttle, I'm thinking he's seeing about 15-16 max on a 427 so I'm guessing 765rwhp!
