Good God, I must be getting old! I caught both references (I have seen the movie a long time ago). Of course, along with the Doppler color shift (red approaching, blue departing), there are other factors:

The Lorentz contraction - causing the object to appear shorter
The Doppler red/blue shift - altering the hues of color observed
The headlight effect - brightening or darkening the object
Optical aberration - deforming the object in bizarre ways

I'm not so sure you want to also imply the shortening/deformation as well as the color shift, so best to go with REDSHFT BLUSHFT or DOPPLER as your plate over LGHTSPD.

oops - back to topic

8_wannabe - sage advice! While I will likely always monitor my mpg, I see no reason to get too wrapped up in it. With all this beauty and power, I can accept it for what it is.
