Question SHould i get this hood? Opinions needed pics inside

Ok i need a stock black hood to put on the TA im picking up soon. I found this one. It hsd a vinyl sticker of some sort that can be removed with a heat gun and some patience. BTW the TA is all black. Should i ride around with it or try to peel it off? So what do you think?

**** Carlton...you be pimpin big with that thing on the hood!! As as the sticker is in good condition, and there's not much wax built up around the edges, I'd keep it on as well. Are you going to garage that thing or is it gonna be sitting outside? That sticker is gonna scream "Hood repaint" pretty soon due to fade if the car is cooking in the sun every day.

Damn man...how many cars and sets of wheels have you been through since I know you? I am still on my first and only LS1 (since I bought it new, I am not about to trade it in), and on my 3rd set of wheels, and 6th set of tires after 58k miles.

Put it on. If you don't like it then take the sticker off. I think it looks pretty sweet.

Nope, +1 here... I have yet to see a bird plastered all over the hood of a late model Firebird that looked even half way decent.
