interesting concept... but i think the particular stripes you chose look too "cartoony" or the edges are too round or something... are they decals? or painted on?

The lines are too thick for flames imo. Problem with sharp points is they peel up too easy, especially if you aren't careful when washing/detailing (assuming it's not under a clear coat). Yours won't have that problem at least.

If you brought the over the side edge of the nostril and thinned them out a bit they would be perfect.

They don't look right on the car at all. They do look too cartoony as stated about. But if you like them, then keep'em!! It's your car

Sorry, but I'm not feeling those at all. They just don't look like they belong anywhere on an F-body.

they really don't look like flamesl, but more like antlers, good idea, if you happen to find better flames it would look awesome. But it's your car if you like it then **** it.

almost remind me of a heart drawing from the bottom.

Then into flames.

I know it is a hard thing to see.. but I just refreshed my EMT skills and I am programmed to see that sort of crap lol.

Anyways.. Misplaced on that hood.

Flames are hot (pun intended) but only if done right.

I.E. The post above me.. that TA is HOT.
