It's just a different sharper kind a flame design? What don't you understand? Do you have this? If not don't post!

Nice smiley.

Please remove it from your thread. That kind of language isn't permitted here on TGO, even if it IS allowed in your tribe.

Scott, be nice to the new guy.

everyone has different tastes... been around for the last 5-7 years through mini trucks. they tend to be a good 4-5 years ahead of muscle cars with upgrades and paintschemes as it is. anyhow here is one... or a few for you.

What makes those "Tribal"? They just look like different flames. I thought the tribal look had the sharp edges and looked more like this.

I suppose mine are tribal, they are styled more like regular flames with extra flames that "cut back". But i do call them tribal ghost flames.

Heres a few more pics





Mine in the background at Super Chevy, flames standing out nice here

I think tribal designs are nice. I've considered the idea, but I'm more of a fan of solid colors. I think they look great on the right car/truck with the right design and colors.

Looks close enough to me. Not liking the whole painted taillights thing but I like the outer scheme in design. Any shots of the hood anr/or hatch closed? That and, how the hell are you finding them...?

This car with 91-92 front bumper was in 2004 nationals. I think it was in the 2005 Trans Am Nationals with the custom 85-90 front bumper.

edit: August 26-28, 2005 is the 2005 trans am nationals. Hasn't happended yet. This car was in some other big 2005 car show. (85-90 front bumper)
