Post Prototype - Winglets... need ideas

I need your guys personal opinion on something I created and like complete honesty on how these look. Now there not perfect and still are prototypes but I wanted to get some opinions first.

Ying Yang?
Not appealing at all IMO.

well besides "they suck" what would you guys do? what kind of shape? or should I just put the plastic grid vents back on? Don't forget their prototypes and I'm gearing away from the ying yang look. but if i stretch them to much they will start to look like Nike swooshes.

why not put the stock grill back on and put like a Firebird symbol on the grill itself. Paint the grill a dark color and the Firebird like white or chrome.

I think they would look ALOT better if you painted them black to blend in, other wise they just draw your eyes to them, and I think it would be cooler if they were a little more subtle.
