Default Chrome Front-Plate overlay?

I used to have one of these on my car, looked good, but I'm not sure anymore. I like the how clean the car looks without it, but I bet it would look good with it too. I was also thinking for the 'PONTIAC' in the back. Vote please!

I think you should fill in the front bird and rear with Chrome decals to accent your wheels............it would look real good.

Go stainless front and rear. For the ~140 it will make the car pop. I just got my front stainless bird on and it is great on a darker color. No joke the other day I woke up and looked out the front window and thought my fogs were on the lower portion blinded me in a good way. I've had rear stainless pontiac inlays on for a while though and it is also nice. I will be posting up some pics soon I've a lot of things going on with the car as of late....but later.

Here are you a couple pics of my NBM. I got the entire package from fourthcircledesigns.com I did the front bird, Trans Am door overlays, Ram Air lettering on hood, & rear Pontiac. I also painted my fender vents & nose grill chrome to match.



(side markers weren't blacked out yet in the pic below)

Front and rear in Stainless would look very nice. Not too much and still have a clean look.
