Classic or Modern Hood letters... What do you think?

I am going to do a hood lettering mod to my car. I was planning on using the classic hood lettering, until I saw a pretty nice looking option where the current tail light lettering was applied to the hood. Which do you think is better looking (see pics below)?

Tough choice, both look great. But I would lean more towards the modern lettering. It seems to fit and flow more with the car.

Have you given any thought to removing the Ram's head, smoothing it out and place the lettering on the nose?

I'd stay with the same font for front and back - otherwise it starts to look a bit mixed up -IMO

I dont care for lettering on the hood, but where do you buy the script for the grille? I realize its the same as the side of a classic.
