Ok so the flames are pretty cool by them self’s, but the blue strip on the bottom throws the whole look off. If the flames were in blue and white I think it would look a ton better. I defiantly give u props on the flames however just because there so different then any other flames I’ve seen out there..Maybe if u get time ps blue and white flames in, so we can all see how that looks.

they look alright, with the mint condition your car is in I was hoping it was a 'chop.

would look better one someone elses car, yours is just too nice and stock looking and perfect to put flames on.

def. made me do a doubletake...

keep it real,

here in BC it is law to have a front plate too.. so I decided to mount it in a alternative location, on the air dam. Doesn't take away from the lines of the car yet is pretty visable from 25'
