Default what to do with my tonneau cover?

so i just ordered a tonneau cover for my vert. it will come unpainted but will look similar to this pic.


I have an all black t/a. I was thinking to do the base black and the bubbles eithor a NBM giving it a "ghost" look or going with a silver, but i also wanted to do decals , i was thinking of doing eithor a pontiac banner across the top, like this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PONTI...QQcmdZViewItem
or doing a bird/trans am logo like these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWA:IT.

I would do both in silver, if i were going to go with the bird i think i would put one on each side of the seperation line.

Oh i plan on painting the cover, then applying the decal and then clearcoating over the whole thing so they will last longer. What do you guys think?

I like the idea of the NBM bubbles but I wouldnt do much more than that, in this situation clean, smooth, and simple lines are your friend. Just my opinion though.
