Its not my style, however each race car needs its own distictive look. I say keep it, that way people recognize you.

Since it's muscle, A+.
If that were on a 4th gen daily driven car, I'd say lose it.

i think it looks good! it just depends on how you want to come across...if you want to look intimedateing and agressive...i think that a different direction would be suitable, like a real flame or something...but if its just for fun, and your laid back about it...then it looks great!

If the flame licks were a little smaller (with more licks), I think it would look nice.

I don't like it. I'd also put back on the front bumper and remove the chevrolet decal from the hood...

I also really like the 67' grill over the 68'. I think the round signal lights look so much better...

I like the concept and the color scheme, I think the execution of the paint work is not as good as it could be, IMHO.

Yup, i agree completely, some of the flames, the one on the door particularly is not shaped all that well. Other than that its fine.
.....Although if you wanna pay for a true flame paintjob on the car then let me know and ill give you some real flames

I like the colors there is nothing wrong with them, but I have to say that when doing fire, true fire is the only way to go, and even then, I couldn't imagine true fire along the entire car. Thea car is badass though, A++ there .

Sorry, but it looks more like Giant Octupus tentacles than flames.
