I see your point...but it seems like it fits better (from a size perspective) than some of the other ones. Some of the hood birds I've seen are definitely not official GM designs.

That modded 2010 Camaro T/A is so badass...unfortunately, I still know in my heart that it's not a T/A. I do like that bird as well...I wonder how would it fit on a 4th gen hood?

It's from Phoenix Graphix, an officially licensed GM supplier.

I'm heavily considering doing this hood bird on my 01 black WS6.

I think it looks mean with the right bird, but really bad with the wrong bird.
That car looks awesome!!

Thanks for posting the link to the story. I have the issue of HPP where they added the Screamin' Chicken to the non-WS6 Hood. That car looked good, but this one is outta sight!

^ Best hood bird on a fourth gen I've seen. Personally I don't like them all that well, but that looks perfect WS6 T/A. Nice bird!

FYI - A graphics shop in Lexington (Yes, NC NOT KY) did mine - they can put any colour you want on / in it; they are right on the main N / S road in Lexington - "Banners and Such" is their name.

Just to let you know, that's my car. The reason it's on crooked is because the decal is shipped in pieces, and is a weird size on the hood. I even ordered a second wing because there was a cut in the first one. It's hard to get it on perfectly when the decal is the same color as the hood...
ill post new pics in a few days..

I think gold is the logical choice, but I'd consider something in the silver or gunmetal family. Maybe with some black areas. Unless you are really wanting to match a certain 2nd gen design, I'd consider altering it up a bit. That MRM is such a rare color, I'd really rather see something on the subtle side moreso than a highly contrasting red. Just my opinion, but you asked.
