If I had to put a bird on my hood, it would be that one.... I have always wanted one on my 99 but just never found one that fit... id say yours is the closest match if seen... not quite perfect but much better than some of the others Ive seen....

Could that same graphic be made somehow wider so the bird's wings fill the hood better? Like this:

You could take a picture of the hood bird you want and take it to a graphics shop and Im sure they could set you up with one to your standard. Thanks though!

I would say yes. The local graphic shop that put the bird on for me, said they can make them. You could probably just take that picture there and give them the width and length of what you want and Im sure they can make it

Usually not a fan of hood birds on fourth gens but yours looks damn good. How much you pay for the decal?
