That looks clean. The green flames look great. I've seen green flames done one other time on a black car and they looked great too.

Thanks for all your opinions guys! PontiacFan, I know that these do not "disappear completely" like "true" ghost flames, but I have seen many people make that same comment about these kinds of flames and never offer the "correct term" for the design, so maybe you can enlighten us all...??

I like it! Subtle but they still make a statement.

I wouldnt call yours ghost flames (at least none of your pictures suggest that) but rather your normal old school flames. Either way they are nicely done and I like the look!!

I got the whole car re-painted black and the flames sprayed at the same time for $600 throught the shop I work at...(off the books). Thanks for clearing that up a little Stryker14...Mine do have quite a bit of pearl in them but its several different pearls in a green metallic base, so they do dissappear to some extent, but not completely if you know they are there. Thanks for the comments guys!
