Hood bird decal on a standard firebird hood??

Will this 35" x 35'" outlined hood bird look o.k. on a standard firebird hood. Got it with a recent firebird purchase. I know they only came stock on T/As though. Has anyone applied one of these to a standard firebird hood. I know it centers up but where would it look right front to rear on hood? (dimensions). Might as well use it if can't find a buyer for it. Any suggestions appreciated . thanks

Well, No pics necessary, Seen one on a firebird today. Blue decal on yellow paint. Eye-catching indeed! Looks like the guy separated the decal into parts and spread out completely over the hood though. Don't think I'll take it that far

Well dudes, I did get the bird' applied to the hood.....a few times i'd say, . The d amed thing got away from the front paper as I was sqeeging in on ( must be on of those cheap Ebay mucker fothers).. Got few bunched up places that I had cut do some cut and pull on. Looks great though from 4'- 6' away? . Do you think it'd be less adhesive now or what? Made some altercations to it also to make it appear more like a factory bird(from a pic). So .. now, I'm thinking , do i leave it on or shoot a portion of the hood with flat black ,peel the decal off, and make it appear to have a massive bird' cutout decal on there....Any thoughts? .......Well,. I'm gonna have to get with the flow and get a digital camera cause I know people are gonna wanna seee pic's
