I have a question

I am gaining some headway on the rebuilding of my Firebird and I have already found my paint color. BUT and it's a big but, I am looking for ideas on graphics that have NOTHING to do with flames. Everyone has flames. I posted in the body interior area my pictures of my new interior. It's not a table cloth Tommy made fun of it. Anyways it's a Tan doeskin suade, well look.

There is also a photo of the color of the car for reference in color. I wish the that car the picture of was mine.

Thanks guys!

And by the way, flames have been proven to make your car go faster.

Or just more cowbell?

Besides flames, what else is there? Mexicans love those Aztek graphics with every single mis-matched color. I really just love plain simple paint jobs. Less is better, especially on our angular 3rd gens.

Personally I'm a fan of pearlecent (sp) Iroc-Z on the sides of an Iroc with a regular paint job so you can only see it at certain angles, like a ghost effect. But since you have a firebird, maybe you can do a ghost firebird on the hood or some such.

Anything I decided to do would be in the pearl only so yeah you'd not be able to see it unless you were really looking at it. and thats exactly my feelings, Flames seems to be the only thing anyone ever does. If we were doing it blue I thought of having waves breaking over the wheel wells with phantom dolphins but it's pink. for lack a better word so that really wouldn't apply..

Maybe someone can photoshop a pic of your car. I'd do it, but I'm at work & don't have photoshop installed on my work pc & won't be going home until tomorrow night.
But........You can request it here:

How about just some grey trim, and some GTA wheels?

You can barely see it, but there is a black line inbetween the purple and the grey.

I did one of my own today was well, once my brain was done farting.

I also added a little something extra on the fender there.

I think some well done lightning/electricity graphics would look awesome with that color paint job.

Here is another example of a lightning scheme done on an RC Porsche...I couldn't find any pictures of real cars with this type of paint job.

Eh, I think the idea but it's too, gaudy without it being ghosted, I like the subtle , gotta look twice, ghosting graphics.

Hi Kandie!
Is that a shot of your car?
If so, what rims are those? Riken? They don't look like Enki.
Just wondering.
Oh ya, I just talked to my friend in New Mexico, with the car club info. She will be contacting you soon.

Later,

George

Nah, it's just one I found on the internet that was red so I could change the color closer to the color my paint job would be. My car actually still has the original rims on it. hell it has freaking stock everything on it.

That's cool, Thanks

Are you looking to go crazy with the graphics or would you go simple. Say racing stripes? Maybe the hockey stick style ones? I have never seen pearled strippes might look kinda neat.
