Default Need help deciding.. shave off the back or not (pics)

Im trying to decide what should I do w/ the bird on the back of my Firebird.

With the bird I think it adds a little flare to the back, it also matches the bird in the front, with the Firebird logo on the doors. Thats all I can think of w/ it on.
Without it, it looks even more badass than it does already =P Also think it'll look better when I blackout the sidemarkers + 3rd brake, plus when I get it tinted.

Photoshopped to see what itd look like

I just don't dig the "all black" look. All I see is nice black paint and then the off-color taillights/center piece ruin it. I'd keep the bird as it draws attention away from that.

I think it would look frickin awesome if you got rid of it and also black out that spoiler light, get rid of your red decals on the front and doors and black out all your signals & fogs, pimpin . Get some black wheels with a chrome lip and MAYBE go with those polished chrome looking overlays for the front bird & Trans Am door decals, I think it would look awesome all blacked out though.

It looks like the voting is more or less 50/50, but I agree that without it there would be too much black, I reckon a silver bird like the CETA edition with it's newer style 'bird would look good as it will complement the black more than the red.
