Default thinking about ghost flames on the NBM Z28

i'm thinking about a 2 1/2" cowl hood on the car and since it's gonna have to be painted anyways....well, i might as well have something nice done. i think some faint silver ghost flames would look kick *** on the car with the new hood and wheels. anyways, let me know some opinions of what you appearance guys think, and what colors you think work well. ALSO, if anyone has some pictures of similar setups, or can do a photoshop i would appreciate it. thanks in advance.

Matt
