I like the overall style...the color choice is pretty cool. Dunno what exact colors those are but its reminds me of a Sunset Orange to Cayenne Red fade.

Im not one for flames myself, but my only complaint about them are the sides. The front looks good (esp w/ the color matched headlights) but along the sides the flames just dont flow to me. They should've just kept the flames up along the top with minimal flames along the bottom, more like how a fire would be if it were sweeping backward.

Underhood is great. I like how the flames on the lid are just swapped from about where they are on the hood. Thats pretty cool. Same with the STB and fluid reservoir being paint-faded like the flames. Nice attention to detail on all accounts under the hood.

Its a cool show car that'll turn heads, no doubt.

I agree with everyone, I really like everything except the wheels, and they're not bad, just not my taste.

Definitely one nice looking ride!

Well im not a fan of Flames. I think they make a newer car look too "snakebite" for me. The car looks awesome and i like the rims. How do you clean the thing you do it your self? Its mighty clean.

Like the paint job and engine bay - sharp!

But I do have to agree that the wheels are too big IMO. Then again, I'm not a fan of the Chip Foose style of customizing as far as wheels go - his idea is to stuff the biggest diameter wheel under a car that will fit - those wheels remind me of wagon wheels.

But it's your car - we can't all like the same things or have the same taste - if we did - all our cars would be exactly the same.

And what would be the fun in that?
