Default Got some new flames

I got my car back last night from the paint shop... I ended up with a lot brighter blue than I originally planned, but they did an awesome job trying to get what I was asking for (which is a lot)... These aren't the best pics because I was running out of day, I'll have to find somewhere nice to get some better ones soon. I am very very happy with the car, and just happy to get to drive it again.

Thanks a lot guys.

I couldn't give an exact on what I paid for the flames because I got body work done and the flames done at the same time, and it was $4k. One body shop told me that to do the body work and just paint the car black would be $4200 and then another $1600 to add the flames in. The ghost flames I had done last year were $2000 but they didn't do a good job.

The colors work well together and they did a great job on the fade. Looks good.

Thanks everyone... I was nervous about getting the flames done because I was so unhappy with my last paint job, I'm excited now though. It's gonna take a while to get used to my car looking like that. Everytime I see it, I'm like Whoa, that's my car?
