That'd be such a sweet car if it wasn't for the flames.

The front bumper looks like wood grain if you look closely. It just looks stupid in general, not very flamelike IMO. Tunedport335 should post, his ghost flames are nice.

I agree with firebirdjosh. Those flames look like crap IMO. I think classic "hotrod" style flames are cool, but any "real" style flames look dumb.

I respect the talent it takes to paint 'em, but that's it.

Hot rod flames look cool, but they've been around for years (ever since hot rods!...). "Real" flames are superb, but that first 'maro's flames are way too small, if you know what I mean, and way too many also.

Mark.

Who owns that car?? I was just looking at buying the same set of wheels (17's or 18's). I want to find out if any spacers were needed to fit the wheel on the car.

i can do it in red purple yellow pretty much any color now, got the paint mixes down in my head so they basically are all the same now.. just can t mix primaries ya know blue and green make brown muck but i can cheat a little with blue candy and pegan gold.. blue and yellow is green so i can come up with some unique shades. its alot of fun to do and addicting......
