I don't think light blue is the color to try that with. Too stark of a contrast, baby blue/black... I dunno. Baby blue is not exactly a color that says badass either. I'd say paint it to match the rest of the body and let the grille openings stand out. Is it black already inside the hoops? That would give a more aggressive look with all blue.

Here is my old neighbor's truck I helped on. It's a bit deeper blue, but he went with a Super Sport type of theme (ended up with Vette Rallyes)
