I like it chris ,what made u decide u wanted flames ?I know when i had my car painted ,before i had my car painted i thought i was the only one back in 2001 who had a triple black c5 runnning around in my area ,& then i see 2 or 3 riding around & thats why i had my car painted ,u have to be unique ,thats what i like about aftermarket painted cars ,it has your personal style/personality ,I figured u may have started to see more pewter c5s in converse,U will have peterpan painting his next

I though about what I wanted to do for over a year. There not a whole lot of options of paint things you can do with a silver car...

They are from Breathless performance. They are designed to be stuck on with an outside lip. I ground them down and glassed them in smooth..About 16 hours of work..

I like your rearview . I got a little worried when I saw the flames masked off I thought oh no they're gonna be blue or red or something but I like the subtlety of them a lot.

You really did a great job. I usually do not like the fancy front bumper covers but it all goes together nicely. The scoops are something that some people would not notice because you have them so smooth. Nice choice of colors. Very, very nice.
