its interesting but i dont like it. The metal part looks ok, but the skull, and the blue area with the flames look like ****.

Good effort, but wrong car, wrong design, wrong color.

Those flames look awesome. The only thing is i dont like how they start where the hood meets the nose. I dont know why, i think it might be because to me it brings too much attention to where they meet instead of giving it a solid look. But then again, it wouldn't look right if they started at the front gfx either. Sorry, stupid things bother me.

Yes the whole frontend used to be fire but it was different looking. This fire is more realistic this time and the reason for the nose peice being black is to give the illusion that the fire is coming from the engine compartment.

you should consider getting an "extension" on those flames on the hood, possibly put them down the front of the fascia, just to round it off...you know, like a fireball look, instead of a straight edged flame emerging from the crack in the hood...just an idea?

but by the way, it looks mad sick!
