Default Question on Idea

Ok, here's my idea for my hood. I believe it is BlueStreak98? that has the nmb SS with the ram air scoop painted silver. I think it looks awesome, so I was thinking of taking his idea.

Then I started thinking about where on my car I'd like to possibly put "Last of a Breed". I thought about putting them in the headrests, but I think what I'll do is put it on the sides of the scoop. Where you normally see all of the "Ram Air" decals on it. The problem I have is that I don't think a silver color would look good with writing on it, or at least I can't think of a color that would look good.

So I'm thinking of painting the scoop white, and then in nbm paint, to match the rest of the car, put "Last of a Breed" on the sides of the scoop. What do you guys think?

Navy blue metallic, sorry I learned the abbreviation off of this site so figured most people would know what I meant.

That would be pretty cool, and different. Only seen "Last of the Breed" on T/A's though, but what hell. You gotta stand out, right?

I don't understand why you'd only see "Last of the Breed" on a T/A. If it is some reference to a specific T/A thing, then it makes sense. I'm just thinking of it as, last year F-Bodies were made, so to me it could go on either one of them.

I think the reason most people say the LOB is firebird specific is because the LOB badge has a Pontiac symbol and a bird on it.

I think Morgan Design should have a made a badge for the Camaro with a Chevy bowtie and a Z28 or similar image.

Click below for an image of the badge on my car.
