Paint the badge black IMO. Just need something to break up the red a little bit.

Agreed. A black emblem will pull it all together nicely.

It is a bit too much red but I like the bumper matched. Add to my list of todos.

That is what I was thinking. I think some billet in that grille along with a billet GMC emblem will look better. I'd color match the mirror caps, too (unless you want a black emblem...then leave the caps alone.)
