Lol, worse thing is, ive seen worse window banners on 4th gens..."It Aint Braggin If Ya Can Back It Up" was the most recent one ive seen. Its more laughable then anything else, esp when they're on V6s and the owners drive 'em like they're Firehawks or something. (nothing against the V6 Fbody "faithful")

I kinda like it..but I think it would have been really cool if you would have actually ghosted the flames then it wouldn't be so bold

I know the sticker was tacky, that came off 2 days after the flames were done. I didnt want all ghost because I wanted to go with the old hot rod look and have it stand out more. But the pearl paint in the front is kinda the ghost flames.

That's jus' "Flames"!
Personally, I'm not a flame kind of person, I think they belong only on the old school hot rods.
But that's what sets us all apart, To each their own, ..., Each vehicle's owner is the proudest.
