i'm not 100% sure what color i would do it. maybe the new cyber gray metallic. also, i agree, the spoiler is hideous. i think it said on his cardomain that it was silver pearl. any color ideas for a white camaro with gloss black sail panel and mirrors, and satin headlights grille and berger.

ya its just the flames. I also think if you sprayed a good pearl you liked over the rest of the car it would look sick, the point of ghost flames is so they dont stand out

Why are the Z28 badges below the side molding?

a flame job is the old school look. the cars that had the red, yellow, and orange flames. ghost flames don't have to only visible at some angles although they can. all ghost flames are is very subtle flames as the title says. they aren't extremely noticeable.

a ghost flame is generally a pearl color that only shows up in certain lights and generally hides..i had a GTP that was white with pearl white/blue ghost flames in a very similar layout to this car...i did them when i was 15..

That's not subtle. And doesn't classify as ghost flames.
