It's already painted, but I want more. Stripes, flames?

It's already painted, but I want more. Stripes, flames?

I got my car painted a little over a year ago. It's a Trans Am, blue w/ metallic gray ground effects, and a larger wing spoiler. I need it to stand out more. I don't think I want another hood. I've never seen racing stripes on T/As that look good. I was thing maybe gray flames coming out of the vents on the hood and the doors, but I think they might clash with the ground effects, even though they'd be the same color. Any ideas?

how about a single racing stripe but instead of a solid stripe, how about a flamed stripe with it outlined in metallic gray. so like the outline of flames in the shape of a stripe. i think that would look sweet. but the is just the kinda of dumb@$$ i am.

Check here for some ideas. They have some great graphics and stripes. You can always remove them later if your taste changes.
