So I'm trying to convince the car's owner that the modern decal fits the overall theme of the car...Please VOTE and let me know what you think...

Kinda unfair pictures 'cause the new decal does not have a clear background in the photo :rubeyes:

I don't know what the rest of the build looks like but...

The stock white sticker looks out of place on a black car IMO.  It's too white against the dark paint.  A gray sticker would blend in much nicer and be more understated IMO.  But my opinion rarely ever matters. 

A stock resto you need the stock sticker.  If this is a resto mod then the updated sticker would look better for sure.

Thank you Darren, FINALLY someone understands where I'm coming from...A "resto-mod" is supposed to look original but have some nice modern upgrades in my opinion...

What about you use the original sticker, but cut away some of the white border so there's not so much white?
Just a thought to change it up.
