Thoughts on truck color and 'modern' headlight design

Hey all,

Recently had a forum member do some 3d modeling for my project. Thought I'd get some feedback on the designs. My approach to my project is really taking the classic lines and features and merging things with new technology, so I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea and I respect that. Here is what I'm going for:

1. Outer lights are both Hi and Low HID projectors.
2. Inner lights are just Halos, and inside it's tubing that feeds into a dual intake track, somewhat like the new Challenger Hellcats.
3. The turn signals will be the stock housing, but inside will be daytime white LED running lights that will shut off when orange LED running lights are activated for the turn signal.

The rest is fairly stock looking at the moment, but also curious about what color of the three I had rendered you guys like the most.

1. Yellow was the 'original' (to me) color. I would likely add blue flames like it was in highschool.
2. Blue. It's a slightly darker version of the grabber blue from the Mustang I had.
3. Dark charcoal grey. I really like this color, but a lot of my past vehicles have been this color. Part of me wants to do dark grey and carbon fiber parts, and part of me wants it to be bright and cheery.

Here are the renders. Let me know what you think of the colors and light setup.

Yellow




Blue




Charcoal
