true fire paint job question

has anyone seen a bird with the true fire paint job. i hav been thinking about doing it to mine. but a little different. i was thinking of just making the pheonix into the true fire, and have the fire from its wings stretch down behind the front tires, and then fade into the side skirts. how does that sound?

That would look friggin awesome!

But...I think taking it all the way down to the skirts may be too much. It would probably look better if you kept it on the hood. And then had some matching flames coming out from behind the wheels or something like that.

Great idea nonetheless.

My '91 Z is black w/ "true fire" on the front and sides. True fire looks great on just about any ride in my opinion. I will post some updated pics of my car tom.

Well this is an old pic of my car that I posted a while back. The new pics are still on the way (computer is acting up). I have changed the rims and a few other things still the same paint though.

That is a sweet setup with all the goodies. I love the system and the ps2. Do you every worry about somebody braking in despite protective measures? I am worried about having anything too pricey in my baby. I have gotten my cars broken into too many times for that. I don't need anymore heartbreak.

nice, the engine looks like it has some nice detail work... where are the pictures? definately coming along nicely and i love the new wheels over the old, good choice. get your interior on par with the rest of the car and it would be perfect.

I think that camaro is absolutely stunning. That car just screams muscle. It's so clean, and it's pulled off so well!

Mine cost $1000 and that is only because I know the guy pretty well. Keep in mind also that is for the artwork alone. Definitely not cheap to get a good job, but ya get what ya pay for.
