This is my silver bird. I used to have stripes but I saw the bird and had to have it even though it was a bitch to install on the ram air hood.

I wish it was but thats the biggest that that company makes it. its bigger on a flat hood because it doesnt have the nostrils to take up the extra space.ill have it painted on at some point and it'll be an outline and bigger
