Question SS on T-tops!?

I have a buddy at work that does sandblasting. He is making a 6x4" sample for me of the 35th SS logo on glass for me to look at. I will be having the logo sandblasted on my t-tops. Once this is done this will be permanent. So my question is where should I have it done on the T-tops.

My ideas,

Small in center of t-top

Small in corner of t-top

Big as possible and cover whole t-top

Or just one giant S on each t-top so from above it obviously says SS.

Can you post pics on the locations/design size? That would help a bit.

I'll post up some "pics" of what it might look like so you guys can have a better Idea, keep the votes coming though. I'm really wanting what the general consensus wants on this. I want something that when people see it say wow! Not something that is neccessarily what I like. It will make it better for shows etc...

Man, I can't decide. You want them to show up well, so I don't know if the corners would work or not. But you don't want them to be gaudy, so I don't know how big you want them. I just don't know. It's a sweet idea

im never one for too big of anything, so i'd say go for the small ss on the center of both. i think a good amount of smaller accents will look better than a few big designs/emblems IMO. but hey, its ur car, ur money, ur idea...and a pretty cool/unique one at that.

It's the little details that make the biggest impact. I'd go for the smaller ones in the corner. Too much bling is a bad thing!
Good idea though..havn't seen that done before.

Yes they are. It will look better if it doesnt come right out and hit you in the face.

Here is an idea of the locations for the logo, but obviously these are not the correct logo, just something I threw together on MS Paint. Thats the largest pic photbucket will let me have as I only have a basic membership.



Here is the log I will be having blasted on...
