What to Say?

As many of you know I have the spring edition hhr and I'm doing a fire fighter theme on it. I'm thinking of doing gold leaf or a gold leaf vinyl. My question is should I just replace the factory stripe with a gold leaf one or do some lettering on the two front doors and tail gate? If the lettering give some suggestion on what it should say.

here's an idea. replace the factory stripe with gold leaf, but add a fire dept. logo at the back. perhaps even put leaves around the handles?

check out some local apparatus that has gold leaf. It's beautiful if done correctly.

I do have an in with my local fire dept. ( my dad is a capt.) so I've gotten a lot of ideas there. Though aabout doing the firefighter's prayer on the tail gate.

Now that would look great if done by someone such as Nub Grafix (American Chopper)

FIretruck, if you need some design help we can hook up since we are only about an hour or so apart, I have some experience and would be willing to help...We can even discuss it if you are going to make the run up to the World of Wheels in Chicago...let me know if you need anything...
