I would wonder about the side scoops fitting with the fender flares of the body kit.
also, would a 7" tall emblem even fit in the grille?

IMO, if you wanted to go truly stealth.. I'd silence out the exhaust.. get a Bullitt black out grille, remove the satin surround... black steelies... spoiler/rear emblem delete on the rear trunk lid, and tint out the rear window and 1/4 panel..

stealthed out like a ****!

Yeah I measured the grille area and from top to bottom it's approximately 7 inches. The Grille Emblem is going to be about 6 1/2 inches in height. I want it nice and big so it can be seen from a distance but not gaudy.

As far as the rear emblem goes I found a blackout project for it online. Basically you remove the deck emblem, sand it down, paint it the color you wish (going with matte black) and in the process you can change out the center logo which I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the GT or replace it with another punisher logo.

As far as "quiet" goes I want the classic muscle car roar to it and decided to go with http://www.americanmuscle.com/axexlmo20mug.html

The side scoops go above where the fender flare would be so they can coincide together. I made sure to research the compatability of the scoops with the body kit I chose prior to my purchase.

And StealthGT...my old hood and front fascia will be for sale once I get my new stuff...but I'm pretty sure you want to buy the aftemarket parts !

I got my grille installed today. For me having hardly any mechanical skills or experience it went pretty well! I wanted this car so I can learn to work on vehicles and do things such as this. This was my first "in-depth" project that required me to remove parts, drill, cut and all that stuff. I made a slideshow of my progression throughout today and I think it turned out well!

Also I got my "mast" replaced with a shorty antenna and attached my side scoops.
