Default Trunk lettering

I recently won this auction on ebay for the trunk letters. It contains the typical mustang lettering, but also had FORD lettering in the same style and I am thinking of doing something different. To start with painting the letters black, rather than the chrome. Also, thinking about doing just the FORD, as the pic shows, but maybe doing FORD MUSTANG across the entire back of the trunk, it would be spaced better as my paint skills suck. So what do you think?

I think "FORD MUSTANG" would look too cluttered. I'd go with one or the other.

I named my car and put it with chrome letters on the back. I suggest MUSTANG. Ford would probably still be a lil cluttered

I would suggest "Mustang" or "Stang".
+ 1 on the "Mustang" 3rd brake light decal. It's a nice subtle look. At a stop light/sign, I see people behind me pointing at it and smiling.

That would be my first option too. Not a big fan of chrome letters.
