Smile 1/25/09 Temporary Flame Paint

Spent some time at WS6Tumblr's today. Had him paint some temporary flames to see how it looked.

The pictures are in camera quality still so they're close to 1MB a pop. Don't click if you're on dialup ;x

If you are doing that much work on it, I would atleast get rid of the license plate on the front and add the sap grills. Other than that I like it. Oh, and how is that temporary?

Water-based paint. It'll wash off with some soap and a scrub. I hate the SAP grill, makes it look too much like a Grand AM . I plan on getting rid of the front plate bracket once they make it legal for the front plate to be missing. Don't feel like giving money to the courts for something silly like a ticket for no front plate.

As for the wheels, I want to get some black ones or powdercoat the stock ones but that costs money I don't have right now

Looks cool for flames, just curious is it illegal to paint the license plate too? Like the cars you see in auto commercials etc...

No idea. I don't have a front plate yet as I'm still waiting for my plates to come in. Still got a temp plate on the back.

Illegal as hell. You cant alter a license plate in any way. The flames look good, but its a little much on your car. I like the hood flames, but the ones down the sides are too much. I also agree that it is in dire need of some wheels. Black wheels with a polished lip would look awesome.

Everyone has their own taste, I love the sides and the hood looks good to me. Maybe we can make the flames go further up on the hood next time but that's the only thing I'd change at this point. I was already turning heads coming home today.

I've been running in texas w/o front plates since 1999 and I haven't been bothered by it yet. I guess houston is a little more strict about it.

it really depends on where you're at in houston, what you're doing, and what cop you come across. i'm in houston and i run no front plate, and knock on wood i haven't had any problems. historically, i've always had more problems out in the country when i come across a state trooper. they're the ones that are generally more picky about it
