How the hell would they do that?!?
Shet, even I can go out in the garage & pretend to lay down my imaginary ghost flame vinyl decals, ...,
True ghost flames, or ghost anything, are the type that would be visible/invisible depending on where you are standing & looking at the vehicle. They tend to fade completely away.
Maybe you are referring to some other 'type'?

The ONLY way to do ANY kind of ghosting is with paint. It's gonna look retarded and out of place if you even TRY to do it with vinyl. You either spray a slightly darker color paint on or mix a pearl into clear and clear off the graphic then clear the whole car as one.

nah hes talking about a decal that is clear w/ a "transparent frosted vinyl w/ a hint of metallic flake". they aren't tru ghost flames, they are just a shade lighter than the car is, and they stand out more whenever he suns hits them right i guess. i found em on ebay....not very ghost like to me, they stand out w/o looking hard at all.
