Default Rear Ghost Flames????

Here's the problem. My car is Black and I currently have a silver stinger stripe on the hood. Unfortunately my car is in the shop right now because I ran it into a minivan. Anyway my buddy at the body shop suggested ghost flames, I love the idea but I want to keep the stinger stripe.

1. I don't think it is possible to keep the stinger stripe and do ghost flames (on the Front), they wouldn't look right together.

2. I love the way that the stinger stripe accents the hood and makes it standout. I really don't want to get rid of it.

Possible solution: I am think about leaving the stinger stripe on the Hood and then doing ghost flames on the rear 1/4 of the car.

What do you guys think? Stinger stripe only???, Ghost flames only??? Or Both and how???

This idea might cost a pretty penny, but here goes: Have the stinger stripe painted on, but have some ghost flames burning up and hiding the bottom portion of the stinger stripe. It might take some good airbrush work, but would look awesome if done right.
