I never really cared for flames, kinda cheesy IMO. As long as you like it though.

I agree you have to paint flames on the rest of the front end... otherwise it looks like you took the hood off a car that had flames and stuck it on yours.

Agreed. Regular cowl hoods are too boxy for our round shaped cars. Still better than stock though

Thanks for all comments, The hood cost me $400 to get painted and the flames look more like true fire in person from the front shot in person my camera wouldnt pick it up well so I did a side shot, I am going to get the middle of the nose done on it to blend it in better, I personaly think the whole front end of any car in flames is too much on a car. I wanted solid black but there r several solid black cars running around so that wouldnt make mine any diffrent. So I went with this. I alos thought about two tone. Top half dark blue and leave the bottom black. But solid black just looks to good i think. At night you cant see the flames which I really like.
