Cobra or Bullitt on Gauge cluster?

I got my cluster yesterday that I bought off ebay, and just got finished changing the odometer to show the right mileage for my truck. I got to thinking about puting "Cobra" or "Bullitt" on the tach part of the cluster, but im not sure which to paint on. I've got bullitt wheels, but should I go with that or Cobra?

Go with Ranger. Unless you do a Bullet or Cobra swap, keep with Ranger.

Same here. If you follow through with the mods to make it more of a themed vehicle, the badges, decals, and the like should be the last thing you add, not the first. That's just rice.
