From a "do you guys think this looks alright" thread to true fire gas tanks on bikes, ws6 hoods, and now on intakes... incredible work and ridiculous progress you have made. Your work keeps getting sicker and sicker

That does look amazing, but I've only seen it on black cars/bikes. I have a feeling it wouldn't work as well on a lighter color, but I can be convinced otherwise....LOL

no offense to anyone but why would all of you guys want to have him paint ur intakes the same as this one. If you are goign to have "real" flames painted on your cars why not everyone do something different. You are going to do it to stand out but yet all you guys want the same things painted. You could do something different. Not to make anyone mad but if i was going to pay this guy to do this i wouldn't want the same thing he did for 15 other people, you know what i mean. but mad props to this guy, i work in an auto collision shop and have done some custom painting myself so i know what kind of work that goes in to this stuff and he is just amazing. I'd like to get in to something like this. sorry guys i just think if you are going to "customize" your cars why not everyone do something different.

We're all just congratulating this guy on his amazing work. I'm pretty sure no one in their right mind would turn down this paint job just because it is on 2 other people's hoods or intakes.

The same reason that we all have camaros and trans am, theres a bunch of people that have em but their still bad ***. The same reason alot of us have the same rims and alot of other stuff. Its a badass piece and i wouldnt care how many people had that intake I would still put it on my car.

Because of the fact that the only people who have honestly seen this is on a board on the internet. What do you think the chances of running into each other in real life? just a few people in the entire United States is damn hard to find each other.

Take good care of her. I'm sure your house smells of fresh paint by now. You will have to take some pics when it is all mounted up.
