Looks better now than it did then. But if you opt to put the bird back on, do it smaller so it is only on the hood, and do it in a subtle true fire. Hmm... maybe like UV reactive paint, so on cloudy days or at night it is just black but when the sun comes comes out a subtle true-fire orange bird shows up. You know, not overly bright, just there a little bit. I think that would be kinda cool actually.

the car looks WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better now, but the true fire might look good. have someone airbrush it, and it you like it, make it permanent.

I'm suprised by all the No's considering I got a hell of alot of compliments when I had it, but it was just a thought. The wheels are HP Evo's and I'm thinking about selling them since the car is mostly a track car now..............

Ya it looks great like it is. I think the bird on the front doesn't look as good as just plain. IMO

Look's clean without the bird on the hood, but I like the look with the birds, though I just get a bit smaller one that only covers the hood.
