Default faux gas cap ideas

Had two ideas for the faux gas cap I wanted to run by anyone who looks at this thread. Hopefully the pics will come out, but if not heres a detail of what I want to do. First I really like the terlingua racing eam decal and wanted to put that on my faux gas gap. So I took one today and got all the black off the gap( the black circle that the GT isin) so I'm left with a pure crome cap all but where it reads "ford". So my question is would it look right to slap a terlingua racing team decal on it or would it look better to leave the all crome cap, and maybe paint in the "gt" so that instead of the gt being chrome with a black circle, it would only be a black "gt" with no circle.

Hope the pics upload right, sorry for the crappy gt blackening

what color is your car?
if black, satin silver, or torch red probably the second gas cap
if not, probably the first

Yea, the picture with the terlingua rabbit is just something i printed out to get an idea, the actual decal would most likely have the black circle behind it so that when placed on it, you woulnt see any difference. And on the actual decal, the sun above the rabbits head would be chrome, to throw a little color on it

Yea, I like the all black idea. Our cars look great with black accents. I think I just want a tad bit of color back there. I dunno though, I bought an extra faux gas cap off ebay so I have the ability to play around with it before I do anything permanent. But I think in the future i'll be tinting the rear lights and maybe front as well, but I dont want the total blackout look. But keep the suggestions coming!
