Default sail panel or fender badges?

alright... i already have dragonZ28's (muffinbuster's) stainless vent covers for the notrils and side vents of my car on the way. i want to add some badging to my car. time for some opinions. i'm considering the "last of the breed" badges, but think it might look a little too busy sitting right on top of the stainless inserts for the vents. the other thing i was considering was getting some 76-79 sail panel badges (black and red birds) for a bit of a nostalgic look on the car, you know, bring a little history. can't really find any good pics right now, i've seen them available on ebay, but this is the best i can do right now:

Last of the breed badges only look busy when you combine them with collectors edition emblems.

I'd say no to the sail panel birds because you have other style firebird logos on the car, i.e., front liscense plate and rear panel.

It's ultimatly up to you and what you like the most. No matter what, if it looks good to you, then it's a-ok.
