Default Paint options and ideas

Ok i have a 96 Trans Am that is Artic White and i have it up at the body shop getting painted and i want to add something so it will at least stand out from every other T/A and i dont have a large budget (keeping it the factory color). I have thought about just sticking with the black and white theme but here is a couple options:

1st Option: is just to keep it the way it is and get the CETA in the back in gloss black to match the wheels

2nd Option get the roof, mirrors and the CETA in gloss black and then get a black bird stripe for the Firehawk hood

3rd option come up with something but keeping the car Arctic White

The Car:

I like it how it is, all I would do is gloss the CETA, get clear corners for the fronts, the blacks stick out like a sore thumb to me, then some LS1 tails and call it a day.

I like the mirrors/hood/ceta black but also have you thought about painting the ram air part of the hood black? Would really set it off.
