as long as you keep it under control and dont go with big huge flames it might look ok

though I think there might be another way to make it stand out

but then again I like things a little more calm


what you might wnt to do if you know someone is give them a pic of you car and then have them touch it up with photoshop

Yeah man, I agree! That car is nice, hes spent alot of time on it too. Subtle flames are the best IMO.



I love how the colors fade and change, but it just stops so quick... it should kinda like, fade into the door or something. LOL, but, I didnt pay the cash to have it done anyways!

The subtle silver flames sounds like it will look sweet dude, go for it!

the guy that painted my car has a bird with flames in a shade darker that go about 3/4 of the way up the hood & fenders, I think they rock. too bad I don't have a digital camera.

I had the idea of doing a ghosted flame paint job on my black. Or with a ghosted bird on the hood. You know one thats there but its not, You have to look to see it. But paint job is coming first, and I want to keep it black but boared of plain black.
