Default Custom Paint work with badging

Ok I have some questions I am looking at getting some custom airbrushing done to my car. I am going to call my car "black lightning" (gonna be flamed to death for this one) and am going to get all my emblems removed and done custom for my car. Heres an idea of the theme I want to go with to give you an idea...



That will be my side badges and front in this spot possibly... What do you think about having a emblem on a centered foglight grille like this in the spot where the box is?



Also my rear badge will be replaced with something along these lines.... just darker and with 2 lightning bolts but the blue look is good I want the tall rectangles on the standard pony emblem on the sides to carry this theme...



Well Let me know waht you think I am stoked so not like your gonna change my mind but give me thoughts on it so I can tweek the idea

Thanks all,
James

Blacklightning~

Are you going to get the WHOLE pony airbrushed rather then an actuall emblem or just the lightning within an emblem? I say get the whole thing airbrushed and loose the emblem completely -- JMO of course but thats what I did. I'm not a fan of the grill emblem in the front.

Well I did not name my car but I hated the chrome emblems so I did custome emblems too.
Bill Coogle made the rear emblem form a Civil War portrait I have - he just changed the rider to a skeleton

And moses I am not sure what you mean by whole pony... if you mean the car itself then I am getting custom sized, colored, and airbrushed racing stripes down the length of the car along with trim peices on the bottom of my doors that are black with very very dark blue swirling clouds and lighting running through them.

I've seen the tri bar pony in that spot, and it looked good.
Maybe someone can chop that in there for you so you (we all) can get a better idea of how it will look.

Is the OE chrome pony going to be used (and air brushed) on the side emblems and in the grill? (meaning you are gonna buy a couple more?)

Something like this but replace the skeletons with lightningbolts and the fire with dark blue clouds for the sides.


Ok heres some little photoshopping I did with a standard pony side emblem lemme know if you think the position looks good (keep in mind the colors will be different.


And heres one with both sides having it



My car is black and they will be darker so they wont stand out that much but just gives you an idea to see if yall like it
