That looks really nice. At times I want flames but I enjoy the stock look at times also.

I might be alone on this, and I KNOW I probably couldn't do any better, but the green accents on those flames are extremely uneven. That would bug the crap out of me. Sorry- no flame or pun (

) intended.

I thought that was the point. Uneven.

The hood looks good (I will say I don't like the green, unless you pin-striped the green after fading to another color in the flame)....however....the sides lack (IMO). I mean, its bad *** what you've done, but check out the sides of some of the pro-painted cars.

Having done all that yourself, I think it turned out well. I believe it definately takes skill to be able to put all that together and make it look right.

Well for starters this was the first time I have ever flamed something, secondly yes the green is supposed to be uneven, thirdly the green is phat because no one else has it. Ghost flames have been done over and over (dont get me wrong they are awesome). And lastly, I didnt want flames that go down the sides, I wanted something simple over the fender that made it look like it was flying while standing still.

Now I love comments whether good or bad, I just dont like comments when you have no idea, I guess just sit back and say to yourself thank god that isnt my car

And to everyone else

All I'm saying is that the green part looks like some kid took a crayon and tried to outline the white. You're right though, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I'm alone here but I dont like the color scheme, propps to u for doin em yourself. I think a ghost blend at the tips would of looked better than the green.
