not to be a stick in the mud, but I've never been a fan of flames, especially on newer cars....meaning anything after the 50s. Just doesn't look like they belong to me.

Your not a stick in the mud, thats your opinion, Im sure there are a bunch of people on here that thought the exact same thing. They just didnt take the time to respond. Thank you for posting your opinion.

Looks good, I hope they were not done buffing when those pictures were taken. They need to spend more time buffing and get all those swirls out.

Actually they did a total of 8-9 more hours of buffing washing and cleaning. I just got it home about 30 min ago. Really crappy weather though. I tried to take pics but all you can see is the reflection of my house, trees and the sky. I guess thats a good thing though.

I would have stopped at the hood, the subtle touch would be more original I suppose. Flames look great though!
