Default Help with a hood bird

I have a pewter metallic T/A with a raptor hood, I'm trying to figure out what bird and colors to put on the hood. So any ideas or places to get the bird would be great.

Please no! Your car looks great now. One thing that I don't think people realize is that GM gave us a heritage-nod to the hood bird already. The bird on the front is the more modern equivalent of the old hood bird. Get a middle fill piece for the front and go with a black vinyl overlay.

I saw a 4th gen ws6 a long time ago with a "ghost-bird" (think ghost flames) painted on the hood. It looked decent. If anything I'd do something subtle like that.
