Hood Bird Size?

I will be getting my T/A back from the body shop this weekend with its body color freshly changed from silver to jet Black with gold GFX. I have the Trans Am decales and the Sail birds in gold already but I want to go with the large gold bird on the hood. I have found several places on the net that offer them for a good price but have noticed them in diffrent size's. Can someone give me the heighth and width mesurements off a stock bird so I can get the right one?

Nice ride Scott. I am getting the same hood in a couple days. Did you need help installing the bird? Looks like a two person job so you don't get wrinkles in it? Also is it good quality from phoenix? Cost? Thanks..........
