Default Which Color rear vinyl?

I currently have red vinyl in the rear PONTIAC letters and the stock tail light center panel. I was thinking about maybe going with some muffinbuster (dragonz28) stainless pontiac letters and some reflective center panel bird and Trans Am lettering to match. Go polished or stay red?

What do you think?

definitely definitely polished and black out the filler panel too. I think it would really clean up the rear end and match the rest of the car better

thanks for the opinions and compliments everyone. I am leaning toward the stainless emblems for the PONTIAC and maybe/maybe not some chrome/reflective vinyls for the filler panel. I may black it out...still gotta decide.
