Under bonnet lining ideas

Hi all, Just after I returned from the Nationals in Canberra the under bonnet insulation lining on my FC came apart and I am just left with the ugly foam stuck to the underside of the bonnet. As a result, I figured it is a good time to explore other options for lining the bonnet other than just replacing what was there. Options I am considering include:
* Fitting silver thermal insulated lining
* Fitting an alloy "skin" under bonnet
* No lining and have the FE/FC era Holden shield logo painted professionally on the underside of the bonnet
* Coloured 5D or 6D Carbon fibre lining (no insulation)

I would be interested to hear your thoughts or any other ideas some of you may have used for your cars past or present. Cheers.
Anthony.
The FC Holden is the epitome of vehicle design and manufacture in Australia in the late 1950's.
My Father owned an FC. He happened to share his first/middle names with James Alexander Holden.
