Default Hood birds??

OK I have a weird question. On the older firebirds the bird logo on the hood have fire coming out of there mouths. All the newer or 4th generation hood birds I have been seeing don't have the fire. Did they change that??? I know they changed the direction of the head but not sure about the fire.
Why I'm asking is because I'm about to have the paint laid on my car well on the hood I'm doing the new style bird and I can't find any pic's of the new style birds with the fire. Has anyone seen the new style birds with the fire coming out of there mouths?? If so does anyone have any pic's so I can see how it looks so I can print it off for my body/paint guy. Thanks all!

they do have the fire coming out, it's just not very big.

this decal on my center cap is an exact copy of the bird on the center taillight panel on a 4th gen. there is a very small piece of fire coming out of its mouth which is pointed to the left.



i got this bird from brent franker's site. it's style A

That's it! Ok see the style "a" there's fire out of the mouth..
now the new style birds style "b"and "c" no fire... it's weird it's like where did it go? lol
I mean it's no big deal I will just have to design something but it just would be cool if I could fine a new style bird with the flame so I could give a pic to my paint guy.
