"BADMAV" Maverick build: she’s come a long way in a year!

[LemonHead]

Ordered new just a year ago and have not stoped! To do list still includes downpipe, intercooler, new tune, as well as some cosmetic and audio upgrades!

I've owned too many gray vehicles in my lifetime, but that looks real nice! Are you considering red caliper covers?

I’d go gloss black. Already got red tow hooks.

Thinking of painting them red.

Ten feet away you can't see it though. No contrast...

Thinking of painting them red.

There's an owner in town who has gone overboard with the red accents. In his case, it's too much. But I think red calipers would look real good on your Mav.

Thanks! Yea only have red tow hooks, and some part decals on windows are red. Calipers will be a nice touch

Put it on a dyno.

Your truck looks AWESOME, it's got all the right bits but without looking "overdone"

You also nailed the size and offset on your wheels, they're just perfectly flush without poking out

My only suggestion is that with everything carbonized grey and black, the chrome headlights really stand out and look huge! I'd try something like this mod https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...rance-package-front-headlights-edition.39095/ ... if you do it right (don't paint the reflectors) you won't affect headlight output but it'll tone them down to match the rest of your build

Also the only bright part will be on the bottom of the lights and that'll bring the visual center of gravity even lower

Noooooooo don't put the focus on the tiny calipers! Silver would be OK but don't go overboard with the red

Truck looks fine as it is, IMO the only thing that sticks out is the headlights

I've never had a pickup and I'm torn between lifting it or lowering it, but seeing yours makes me want to go LOW

Plan on it after DP/IC and new tune

Hope that I can come across some BAP headlights.

The Mav was built to go low for sure!

When I read the description and opened the link, I was expecting to see a bunch of tacky add ons, but nope, you’ve done it right. Subtle, high class and expensive mods.

I agree with high temp red paint on the calipers. More expensive than caliper covers, but also classier and more premium looking.

I also agree that nobody’s going to notice black calipers.

And I agree that red calipers would not be overdoing the red content, especially since the wheels are all black.

When I see a beautiful woman wearing red lipstick, ruby red earrings, and red painted nails, it doesn't distract me from admiring the whole package. I understand some folks prefer a monochrome look with their vehicles though.
